Bristol World Naked Bike Ride 2026 - Bike riders of Bristol - join us!
News
Please note - we will NOT be riding on the 4th nor 11th July!
We're now committed to ride Saturday 15th August 2026, with a new venue of The Pump House in Hotwells. Planning has been much more difficult this year, ironically not helped by a series of early heatwaves.
There will be a special protected group for female participants, and lots of emphasis on finding and breaking down the invisible wall which stops riders with non-white skin colour from joining us. We think better advertising has a significant role here. The committee re-formed in February, so this announcement consists of things we decided upon at the end of last year. The route hasn't been plotted yet, but it will be in the city centre, and it will be different every year.
The new shortlink for advertising purposes, is WNBRistol.uk (It's not case-sensitive... This has changed, but the old one will continue working.)
The ride is a celebration of the bike, cycling and to highlight the vulnerability of cyclists.
You don't have to be naked! The theme is "as bare as you dare" If you want to dress up, dress down or strip off completely, you are most welcome.
Please donate to the WNBR UK Fund
The UK World Naked Bike Ride fund meets the cost of insuring rides
across the UK, and provides local organisers with money for
poster/flyer printing, advertising, ride equipment etc.
Please give generously.
Meet at The Pump House, BS8 4PZ.
There will be body painting, flags and banners, horns to sound and whistles to blow. Come ready for a fun family ride.
Assemble from 11.00am
We depart at 12.30pm

Contacts
Email the planning collective at [1] for more info.
Planning collective
UK rides are expected to be planned in a collective manner if possible, and York, London, Cardiff, and Brighton rides adopted this style of organisation. Bristol's ride is organised through open planning meetings where decisions are taken collectively.
We have a ride coordinator who will facilitate the ride planning process whether or not there are sufficient people for a planning collective.
Here's what the coordinator normally does:
- answers people's questions with care and consideration
- keeps track of who is doing what, and how far through things people are
- deals with problems and follow the discussions at the national level
- provides email/chat updates to let people know what's going on
- points out where and when help is needed
- acts as a contact point for general enquiries (email and sometimes mobile phone)
- maintains contact information (and keeps it secure)
Additional responsibilities that the coordinator may choose to take on:
- arrange meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes
- ensure that the collective remains non-hierarchical but organised
- moderate an email list for Bristol ride planning
