The more people know about the ride, the more will come. The more people come and ride, the more successful the event will be, and the safer riders will feel.

History

2006

160-200 cyclists (and one skateboarder) took part in Brighton & Hove's first ride, on a blazing hot day! Chief Superintendent Jeremy Paine ruled against the exposure of "rude bits" (ie: genitals), but Sussex Police were friendly and helpful in facilitating the ride.
