Nude cyclists to pedal through the South Bank this weekend – Southwark News

London’s World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) will see nude cyclists cycle along the South Bank, and through Central London, this weekend.

The WNBR on Saturday, June 8,  is a global protest movement holding rides in cities worldwide. 

It raises awareness of issues such as the safety of cyclists on the road, reducing oil dependence, and saving the planet.

“It’s worthy, it’s free, it’s fun, it’s legal and it’s making the world a better place for everyone,” organisers said.

“The campaign seeks to draw attention to its themes by being a fun, well-behaved, lawful spectacle that delights the public and attracts media attention.” 

People will flock from all across London to take part. One route, beginning in Tower Hill, takes people along the Thames before finishing at Buckingham Palace. 

No registration is required to participate in WNBR London, simply show up at the designated location with your bike at the right time.
