| − | This page has information about the fourth year of London's participation in the World Naked Bike Ride. In 2004, there were 58 riders in Hyde Park, and in 2005 there were 250 riders in the central London streets. Last year an astonishing 800 riders shed clothes to protest against oil dependency. This June the ride will return to the streets of London allowing riders to see the many sights of this remarkable city from the comfort of their own bikes/skates.

| + | The World Naked Bike Ride is a global protest movement with rides in cities around the world, raising awareness of issues such as safety of cyclists on the road, reducing oil dependence and saving the planet. Let's make the planet great again! |
| | | | |
| − | '''BIKE RENTAL''' Discounted Bike Hire is through London Bicycle Touring Company which will hire bikes to riders from 1pm-7pm for £10. For details of how to do this, visit the London [London_Rental Bike Hire page]. Pre-booking is essential to guarantee availablility of your hire bike.
| + | WNBR’s themes are to: |
| | + | * protest against the global dependency on oil |
| | + | * curb car culture |
| | + | * obtain real rights for cyclists |
| | + | * demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets |
| | + | * celebrate body freedom |
| | | | |
| − | '''BODY PAINTING''' From 2.30pm, volunteer body painters will be painting slogans/designs, and a self-service painting station will be available (see below for [[London#Body_Painting | full details]] on Body Painting). Don't turn up before 2.30pm or you will be sent away.
| + | As well as promoting healthy life choices it can also be the best fun you can ever have on two wheels. The London ride has the excitement of a carnival, with big crowds to cheer it on. It is a "naked bike ride" but you can be "as bare as you dare" - body painting and fancy dress are welcome. It is fun, legal and all in a worthy cause. |
| | | | |
| − | '''DECORATIONS AND LEAFLETS''' This year we are providing cloth flags again and these are on short bamboo poles which you can tape to your bike frame/rack. We are also providing "race cards" - paper signs that easily attach to your bike with the messages of the WNBR. Donations are appreciated to help us cover the costs of these items (the London ride's total budget is £300 this year - sounds like a lot, but it's not). There will be leaflets available which explain the ride more clearly to passers by. These items can be collected from just behind the Achilles Statue.
| + | You can find out loads of info on our new [https://wnbrlondon.uk/ WNBRLondon.UK] website: |
| | | | |
| − | '''FINISH''' The ride finishes at Wellington Arch (the traditional finish location). Unlike previous years, the start and finish locations are not identical.
| + | [[Image:LondonWebsiteFrontPage600x338.jpg|WNBRLondon.UK website|center|link=https://wnbrlondon.uk]]<br> |

| + | [[London_preparation | Things you might need to know about the London ride]] |
| − | ===Route===
| |
| − | The ride features approximately 10k (6 miles) of central London with mostly left turns and a mix of high traffic and low traffic riding. There are no major hills and a park start and finish. The route will start at Hyde Park Corner, then take in Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Embankment, Parliament/Big Ben, Westminster Bridge, Aquarium/London Eye, IMAX cinema roundabout, Waterloo Bridge, Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Charing Cross Road, Centre Point/Tottenham Court Road Tube, Oxford Street, Oxford Circus, Selfridges, US Embassy, Park Lane, and finish at Hyde Park Corner or Wellington Arch. Please note that this year's meeting point will be within Hyde Park itself, just north of the statue of Achilles (London's oldest nude statue!). This is just across the road from last year's meeting point at Wellington Arch.

| + | ==Getting involved== |
| − | The 2007 route is almost entirely identical the 2005 and 2006 routes. You can find a really detailed official map of the 2007 route [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Image:London-route-2007-lowres.jpg here (650kb)]. You can also find a nifty alternative map of the route [http://www.run.com/showroute.asp?map=38734 here] that includes an elevation profile! A text description of the route will also be added here in due course. A map showing the ride assembly point is shown [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Image:London-2007-assembly-point-map.gif here].
| |
| | | | |
| − | The 2006 route map is [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Image:london-2006-revised-route.jpg here] and it shows how we would shorten the ride in the extremely unlikely event of of ''extreme weather''.
| + | We hold monthly planning meetings before the ride: anyone is welcome to come along, and we reach decisions by consensus. We also rely on people to volunteer on the day, either as marshals, stewards, or first aiders. The more people we have to help out, the smoother the ride is for everyone. If you can help, please let us know!<br> |
| | + | [[London_get_involved | Details of planning meetings, volunteer roles, and contact details for the start point coordinators]] |
| | | | |
| − | If you're wondering why the route doesn't include Constitution Hill, Buckingham Palace, The Mall, Birdcage Walk, Horseguards Parade, the Metropolitan Police asked us not to use these routes because Trooping of the Colour has caused there to be various traffic restrictions on these streets on the day of the ride.
| + | ==Ride details - Saturday, 8th June 2024== |
| | + | <br>'''The traditional date for the ride is the second Saturday in June, so join us on Saturday 8th June 2024.''' |
| | | | |
| − | ===Legality===
| + | The ride has been increasingly popular over the past 20 years, with its fun, attention-grabbing campaign for safer cycling along with healthier environment, lifestyles and behaviours. 2023 was another big ride, with 8 start groups merging into a spectacular rider peloton. |
| − | We have notified the police of our intention to ride in protest of oil dependency and in celebration of our bodies. They are fully aware that many/most of our riders will be nude and partially nude as we cycle a route through the streets of central London. In both 2005 and 2006 the police indicated that they would not be arresting us or trying to prevent the protest ride, and have assured us of similar support this year. Visit our [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Will_I_be_arrested_for_nudity.3F | FAQ answer]] about what the Metropolitan police said in 2005. We will try to ensure that the 2007 ride is endorsed by the police, as all previous London rides have been.
| + | <!-- |
| | + | Details have not been confirmed and may need to be adjusted due to restrictions and ongoing concerns about the pandemic. Latest information will be on our website and social media. |

| | + | |
| | + | '''It's Not the World Naked Bike Ride''' |
| | | | |
| − | ===Body Painting===
| + | We are riding in August as we cannot ride in June, but we marked the original date of 12th June by again campaigning safely with activities that are “Not the World Naked Bike Ride”. Look out on social media for the tag #NotTheWorldNakedBikeRide. |
| − | The best way to make sure you are ready for the ride is to get painted at home beforehand. Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't rub it off, and you can always leave final details and touch-ups for the ride. The advise on getting and using body paint, see the [[United_Kingdom_FAQ#Do_you_have_body_paint_information.3F_How_much_does_it_cost_to_cover_someone_with_body_paint.3F | UK FAQs]]. The easiest thing is to have a friend body-paint you, but you can paint yourself if it's an all-over-in-one-colour or message on your legs.
| |
| | | | |
| − | For people who aren't able to paint themselves at home, body painting - provided by Sitech Creations Ltd [http://www.sitecreations.co.uk] & others - will be available from 2.30pm at the assembly area. There are limited numbers of paints and painters, so access may be limited. Body Painting will happen under the trees just north of the Achilles statue. '''Don't turn up earlier than 2.30pm at the assembly area or you will be turned away.'''
| |
| | | | |
| − | ===Decorate Your Bike===
| + | The next London ride will be on the afternoon of '''Saturday 14th August 2021'''. In 2019 we had a great day with over 1,000 riders and huge crowds cheering us on. Media participation and coverage was also good. Let's make it bigger and better this year! --> |
| − | We have some great race cards that you can print on card and then attach to your bike. We recommend you use elastic or twist-ties to secure to your bike. There are PDF [http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/images/b/bf/2007-race-card-instructions.pdf instructions here]. If you are feeling generous, print and prepare a few extra to give to other riders. There is a selection of four cards for you to choose from; click on the captions to download the full-size card for printing.
| + | <!-- The date coincides with the Trooping of the Colour in the morning, so there should be good crowds to cheer us on and maybe our riders will once again sing Happy Birthday to the Queen. |

| − | ===Weather=== | + | ==Support Us== |
| − | We've had good weather at each of the UK rides so far, indeed stunning hot sunshine in 2006. Does that mean statistically we're predicting rain? RAIN IS NOT PREDICTED, BUT.. the ride will not be cancelled in the event of rain. If it rains, bring some warm dry clothes to change into after the ride, and keep them dry. A large, thin plastic bag (such as you get from your dry cleaner) could be an effective protection if you want to seem naked in the rain. Maybe we can beat the Vancouver record for most naked riders in the rain! For a weather forecast, visit the [http://www.met-office.gov.uk Met Office], [http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=SW1X+7LY MetCheck] or [http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather BBC Weather].
| + | The ride is made possible by volunteer helpers and generous donations from our participants. Please join the collective. No one |
| | + | is paid for running WNBR London, but we do have some significant expenses like radio comms hire, road closure fees, insurance, printing, marshals' ID, etc.<br> |
| | + | [https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=UGA9T8VT8HH5W Please click here to donate by PayPal] It's got to be worth a fiver or more! |

| | + | or contact us if you could volunteer to help with planning, publicity, preparation, assistance at the start and finish, marshalling, or leading a ride - we really need your help. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Bike Rental===
| + | The London WNBR is part of [http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/ Bike Week]. |
| − | As with the 2006 ride, the London Bicycle Touring Company has agreed to do a discounted bike rental of £10 for the afternoon of the ride. On the day of the ride, you can collect your bike at any time after 1pm and return at any time before 7pm. This year, delivery is not available, and bikes must be collected from the shop. '''Advanced booking is required to guarantee bike availability'''. For full details/instructions on how to pre-book your bike, visit the [London_Rental Bike Hire page].
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''The shop can provide you with directions for a relatively traffic-free journey of 15 minutes to the ride assembly point (soon to be available here).'''

| | | | |
| − | Although the shop normally closes at 6pm, they will allow us to return bikes until 7pm. This will allow you to finish the ride and spend some time catching up with old/new friends. The ride should be complete by 5.30, there will be plenty of time to return the bikes. The company can arrange hire of rickshaws and tandems for higher rates.

| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Planning meetings===
| |
| − | The London ride intends to organise in an autonomous, decentralised, and self-organising manner. Anyone who is prepared to contribute to planning in this way is welcome to attend the meetings. The meeting agenda can include route/time, negotiations with police, improving the experience for new riders, presswork, and any other matters that people bring to the meeting. Meetings are open to non-London riders who wish to plan rides in their area. If any non-London riders attend, their rides can be discussed. Press are not welcome to the planning meeting.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The final WNBR London 2007 meeting will take place at 6:30pm on the evening of '''WEDNESDAY''' 30 May 2007. '''IMPORTANT NOTE: This meeting will not be at the British Museum, where meetings usually take place.''' Instead it will be held in the upstairs room at The Plough, a lovely pub located at the intersection of Russell Street and Museum Street [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=530120&y=181550&z=0&ar=Y (here's a map)]. This location is conveniently just one block south from the usual meeting location - the British Museum.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We normally meet in the Great Court on the Main Floor of the British Museum ([http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/visit/trans.html map] and [http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/visit/plans.html floor plans]) at the large cafe tables nearest the Enlightenment Gallery (on the east side, formerly known as the King's Library). We'll have WNBR things out, so it will be easy to spot the meeting.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Get in touch if you want to join in the planning for the next ride. '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org'''''
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Interviews===
| |
| − | The press, radio and TV are fascinated by WNBR. We need riders to explain their personal perspective on the ride in interviews. If you are willing to help out with interviews, please contact '''''uk [at] worldnakedride.org''''' or '''''glee194584 [at] aol.com'''''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===On the day===
| |
| − | We need people to pass out leaflets at the assembly point and during the ride. If you plan to pass out leaflets on the ride, you need to have a good scheme for carrying the leaflets, so they don't spill out or blow away, but so you still can reach them to pass out. We're going to try to pass out leaflets to the crowd at the assembly point and then during the ride.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Being a Volunteer Steward===
| |
| − | In order to ensure the smooth running of this year’s London World Naked Bike Ride, we are asking for volunteer stewards to look after the welfare of riders.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The purpose of WNBR stewards is to monitor the safety and wellbeing of riders and to provide advice and assistance where necessary. Stewards will be a visible presence amongst riders and will help to ensure that participants are safe, that they don't get lost or separated from the main ride and to provide assistance to those who get left behind or have breakdowns or punctures.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Stewards are NOT meant to police the ride - that is the job of the police - we just need people willing and able to look out for others and to lend a helping hand when required.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As a steward you will be required to:
| |
| − | *be a confident and proficient cyclist;
| |
| − | *be reasonable, responsible and approachable; | |
| − | *arrive at the ride start point at 1.30pm for a ‘stewards briefing’;
| |
| − | *bring a small rucksack in which to put: a puncture repair kit, spare T-shirt, bottle of water & a bike pump (if you have any of these, it would be most appreciated if you could bring them along, if not, we will endeavour to provide them);
| |
| − | *carry a mobile phone (for use only in emergencies).
| |
| − | | |
| − | In return, you will receive:
| |
| − | *a FREE World Naked Bike Ride flag (RRP £2.50);
| |
| − | *a sign identifying you as a WNBR steward;
| |
| − | *support, assistance and guidance from the Stewards Co-ordinator;
| |
| − | *a warm glow knowing that you’ve helped to make the London WNBR 2007 a success!
| |
| − | | |
| − | As a steward, you are welcome to go "as bare as you dare" although you may want to consider not riding completely in the nude as this may affect your willingness/ability to assist others.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you are interested in volunteering as a London WNBR Ride Steward, please contact Paul at [email protected] | |

| − | ==Photography and filming policy==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The London Ride has had a following photography/filming policy since 2005.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Policy===
| |
| − | We welcome photography during the ride, but there are some restrictions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *No photos are permitted BEFORE or AFTER the street ride EXCEPT with by explicit prior arrangement with the subject.
| |
| − | *During the street ride, no closeup photos of people are allowed without the person's consent.
| |
| − | *During the street ride, no photos of participants when they aren't riding/skating (except with the person's consent).
| |
| − | *Riders and supporters are actively encouraged to enforce these policies. Thank you!
| |
| − | [NOTE: The first line in this list had been "EXCEPT in a designated photo area (where consenting riders can go to be photographed)" but we aren't setting up a designated photo area this year 2007, so the policy is being ammended].
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''This policy is intended to curtail any inconsiderate photography which might otherwise take place. We wish to create a safe and supportive environment for all riders.'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''All photographers present at the ride must abide by this policy. Those who do not will be asked to leave. This ''includes'' any riders or press who take photos.'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | To ensure that this policy is clear to all present, it may appear on signs at the ride assembly area or on leaflets distributed at the event. We will also be creating a downloadable kit for constructing a "Photo Policy Enforcement Board". This A4 board has the photo policy info on one side and in large letters it says "''Please stop taking this photo. Your behaviour makes the person you are photographing uncomfortable. You are disrupting our event, and we ask you to leave now.''" If plenty of riders and stewards have these available, then they can put the board between an inconsiderate photographer and the unwilling subject. We'll see if this works. To make it happen, you'll need to download, and print the signs (and affix them onto two sides of an A4 sized bit of card). Check here shortly for the downloadable sign. Be sure to have somewhere to store the card when you aren't using it during the ride (somewhere where the message won't be broadcast).
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you are attending the ride as a photographer, we would like to remind you that the there are various points along the route which feature particularly striking backgrounds for photos of the ride (eg- Piccadilly, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, Oxford Street, US Embassy).
| |
| − | | |
| − | There has been some debate about the restrictiveness of this policy, to see this visit the following link [http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00CWWK&unified_p=1]
