List of rides > UK > Brighton & Hove
The third World Naked Bike Ride in Brighton & Hove will probably take place in the morning of Saturday 7 June 2008 (to be confirmed). Over 200 riders took part in 2007, 160 in 2006, and more are expected in 2008. As of the 2007 ride, and following negotiations with Sussex Police, full nudity is permitted at the event. The ride will allow people to participate in both the Brighton & Hove ride and the afternoon London ride if they travel by train.
The ride also celebrates Brighton's status as a Cycle Demonstration Town.
Post-ride party (clothing-optional) : Thursday 5 July 2007, 7pm-11pm, upstairs at the Sanctuary Café
