In previous years, police have ok'ed the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume, think '''FRIDAY 13TH''' and really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Spooky, be imaginative and creative. It's alot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last year.

The ride will probably take about an hour. Meet at 6pm and set off at 7pm or just after.

Dress code

In previous years, police have OKed the ride, so be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume, think Friday 13th and really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. Spooky, be imaginative and creative. It's a lot of fun, the people of Manchester loved us last year.

Ride reports

2007

Well the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester was amazing! We had 55 brave riders join us for another hot evening cycling the streets of Manchester. The crowds cheered and photographed us and even posted videos on you tube for all to admire. We attracted a lot of interest with radio stations, the BBC, Granada, Channel M, Manchester Evening News and a nudist publication, not to mention all sorts of indie-media.

We saw the sights passing through the infamous Canal Street, our favourite and most popular hot spot! Waved our flags to the BBC, freewheeled along Oxford road to cheers of delight at Kro Bar, then down to Deansgate Locks for some celebrity support at the 'posh bars', along Deansgate past many a shocked and admiring face, tooting cars all the way, then up to the Town Hall for a moment of cobbled wobbles when we crossed Albert Square, with the breeze on our backs (among other things!) we were free to ride, with police by our side. Ringing our bells through Piccadilly Gardens, we finished with a standing ovation, before returning to our original location. We wished we could stay all naked and free, hoped that onlookers were able to see, our messages painted on backs and on bums, our hearts were still beating like happy green drums!
