Join us for a naked seaside bike ride, a paddle in the sea and a naturist beach picnic!
Brighton's fourth World Naked Bike Ride will probably take place in mid-June 2009 (date TBC). An amazing 400 riders took part in 2008, 200 in 2007, 160 in 2006, and more are expected in 2009. As of the 2007 ride, following negotiations with Sussex Police, full nudity is permitted at the event. The event will be scheduled so people can also join other UK rides, including London.
The ride also celebrates Brighton's status as a Cycle Demonstration Town.
If you're interested in riding or getting involved, please join our Yahoo! discussion group. You can also sign up to our event listings at Facebook and Upcoming.
