York nude bike ride

If you fancy pushing those pedals with your kit off this could be the event for you! For one day only it will be socially acceptable to let it all hang out for a nude bike ride, and the entire day is geared towards making a positive change. The Yorkshire event will take place in York on Saturday, June 22, and the dress code is "bare as you dare", so as you'd expect, this unique event attracts a decent number of spectators. You won't be arrested for taking part in the ride, as public nudity is only an offence if police can be prove the person stripped off with the intention to upset and shock.

The annual summer event is not merely a ride for nudists or exhibitionists but, rather, an unusual way of baring-it-all for the environment. As the ride's motto says: "Bare As You Dare.

If you're scratching your head wondering We've got your answers below, plus photos of previous years' events. But seriously, the warning above is not to be taken lightly. Don't say we didn't tell you.

A few have asked and I'm going to go for the 'traditional' date of the Saturday nearest the Solstice, therefore 20th June This is a provisional date, will check with the authorities and get back to the members here, and then put it on the Wiki. Hi John. I know it's the wrong side of Christmas, but do you have any idea of a preferred date for the ride? Only asking now as I'm getting booking coming in for other medic duties and want to make sure I'm available.
