List of rides > UK > Canterbury
There is growing support for a Canterbury ride, but as yet none has been finalised! Imagine a day when people can chose which rides to participate in from Britain's many Southern rides. We hope it won't be long before Canterbury joins the ranks of other rides in the UK south Bristol, Brighton, Portsmouth, Southampton, and London. We're also hopeful for the prospect of new rides emerging in Totnes, Oxford, and Cambridge.

The planned date for the new Canterbury ride is 15th June 2012
We haven't yet set a date for the first Canterbury World Naked Bike Ride. It could be during the summer of 2013 . We're just getting this wikipage set up with info, so if you have questions or want to simply register your interest in participating in the ride, visit World Naked Bike Ride and register your interest via registrations section (if you can't find Canterbury yet, try registering via Southampton but give a note about your interest in Canterbury).
It looks like the 2013 Brighton ride will be on Sunday, June 9, 2013 12:00pm until 4:00pm
That would normally mean the London ride will be the day before so we can now get an idea for the Canterbury ride as well,
we will try and plan the Canterbury ride the weekend after on Saturday 15th so the rides don't clash and as the Canterbury ride will be after the Brighton / London rides many people will be in the mood for another

Route
Planned assembly Start point
Victoria Memorial Recreation Ground, Rheims Way A2050, Knights Ave CT28PZ
Bike Hire
Bikes can be hired from several places in Canterbury, but we'll try to list some recommended hire locations shortly.
Meetings and Events
The ride planning currently takes place on the WNBR UK Yahoo! group. When there is sufficient interest, we'll probably put together a dedicated Canturbury WNBR list.
Publicity
The Canterbury ride publicity materials will be provided here for download and distribution.
Canterbury WNBR Planning Collective
Rides in the UK are normally planned by a collective where possible. It is hoped that Canturbury will follow the example of York, Sheffield, Manchester, London, Cardiff, and Brighton rides, and adopt the collective style of organisation. This would mean holding open planning meetings where decisions were be taken collectively. Sometimes, a few riders will act as sole organisers until there are enough people involved to arrange meetings.
All UK rides typically have a "ride coordinator" who will facilitate the ride planning process whether or not there is a planning collective. At the moment, the Canterbury ride co-organisers are being selected and finalised. 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 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 choose to take on:
- arrange meetings, compile agendas, provide minutes
- ensure that the collective remains non-hierarchical but organised
- moderate an email list for Canterbury ride planning
Media coverage
There is always plenty of TV and Radio coverage locally, plus some mention in national media. Here we will provide links to stories which are available on the internet, and apply specifically to Canterbury.
Photos
- Flickr search: "Canterbury naked bike ride" will probably feature photos from any ride that happens in Canterbury.
