Join us for a naked lunch, a seaside bike ride in the buff, a paddle in the sea and a naturist beach picnic!

Brighton's fourth World Naked Bike Ride will take place on Sunday 14 June 2009. An amazing 400 riders took part in 2008, 180 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 forms the finale to a weekend of UK rides, including Southampton and London the two days before. It's therefore possible to take part in three southern rides!

The ride takes place during Bike Week (14-21 June 2009) and Brighton's Year of Walking & Cycling. It also celebrates Brighton's status as a Cycle Demonstration Town.

The UK World Naked Bike Ride fund meets the cost of insuring rides
across the UK, and provides local organisers with money for
poster/flyer printing, advertising, ride equipment etc.
