The 11th yearly World Naked Bike Ride – Manchester. Join us – as bare as you dare – for the Manchester World Naked Bike Ride!

The totally free annual mass ride which takes place in over 70 cities around the planet:

– highlighting the vulnerability of cyclists and our strength and safety in numbers

– protesting against fossil-fuelled climate change and the dominance of our streets by cars

– celebrating bikes, bodies and low-impact living

we meet at All Saints Park on Oxford road, assembling from 6pm to set off at 7pm.

The ride aims to high light the vulnerability of cyclists on the road. Even when we are fully clothed we are naked to the danger of motorists on the road. We want to live in a world not blighted by traffic pollution where the car is seen as the go to form of transport. Most of all we are here to celebrate people, who come in all shapes and sizes and are beautiful as they are.

Last year we got over 300 people and the sun even made an appearance!

While we welcome photography at the start of the ride, we ask all to be respectful of those they photograph, and where possible to ask for consent. We will provide a protected area for undressing and preparation, away from intrusive and unwelcome photographers.

This ride is one of many around the UK and worldwide happening during June, including Bristol, London, Brighton, Portsmouth, Southampton, Canterbury, York and Newcastle upon Tyne.
