UK Rides History

In 2007, there will be 5 UK rides - York, Southampton, Manchester, London, and Brighton. Local police are permitting nudity at each of these protest events.

Manchester - 5pm on 9 June 2006 (30 riders on a mile route)
Brighton - 10am on 10 June 2006 (160 riders on a 6 mile route)
London - 3pm on 10 June 2006 (800 riders on a 6 mile route)
Bristol - 14 October 2006 (17 riders on a spontaneous route for 1hr)

The on-ride nudity was accepted by police for all rides except Edinburgh 2004, Brighton 2006, and Bristol 2006. London's 2005 ride was the first to have an agreement with police beforehand that nudity would be tolerated on the protest.
