WORLD NAKED BIKE RIDE RETURNS TO LONDON

Hold onto your Helmets for the 20th Anniversary of this Cheeky Cycle

The World Naked Bike Ride returns on Saturday 8 June 2024, when thousands of cyclists will take to London’s streets wearing nothing but their helmets and a smile.

The annual event was launched in 2004 as a processional protest addressing cycling safety, oil dependency, car culture and to celebrate body freedom, so this will mark its 20th year.

And if you fancy baring your bits on your bike, it’s completely free to attend - just turn up with some wheels and your finest birthday suit. If you’re feeling a little more shy, you can take advantage of the “as bare as you dare” policy, by adding some body paint or a pair of jazzy undercrackers.

Those who prefer to watch, wearing actual clothes, can do so from eight starting points at different times, including Clapham Junction, Croydon, Hackney Wick, Kew Bridge, Regent's Park, Tower Hill, Wellington Arch and Waterloo.

All routes meet for the grand finale at Wellington Arch, Hyde Park for a sea of flesh on wheels.

Afterwards, they will celebrate 20 years of two-wheeled nudity with a massive, clothing-optional, ticketed aftershow at Phantom Peak in Surrey Quays from 6pm - 11pm. It will feature The Naked Cabaret plus life drawing (guests are also welcome to get involved with life modeling) plus a bar and food.

Guests are encouraged to use public transport there and not to hop back on the saddle if they’ve celebrated a bit too enthusiastically. And they might need a cardi and socks for the ride home...

World Naked Bike Ride, Various London starting locations. FREE. 8 June

Aftershow at Phantom Peak, off the Surrey Quays Rd, SE16 7PJ. 6pm-11pm. 8 June
