The second World Naked Bike Ride in Brighton & Hove will take place in the morning of Saturday 9 June 2007. Over 160 riders took part in 2006, and more are expected this year. 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.

If you're interested in riding or getting involved, please join the WNBR Brighton & Hove Yahoo! group.

STOP PRESS! — If you attend this ride, you should bring minimal cover for your "rude bits" (Sussex Police terminology) in case the ride is censored, as in 2006. For more information, please read our latest press releases

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.

Not far from Brighton, on 12 June 2004, two riders took part in a naked bike ride in the Ashdown Forest.
