THE DATE: 8th June 2025. Meet from 12:00, ride start 14:00. The ride will take approx 2 1/2hrs. Why is it happening? The Cardiff ride is part of the global World Naked Bike Ride protests (wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org) https://diffwnbr.wixsite.com/cardiff-world-naked ... This global protest is designed to highlight the vulnerability of cyclists against traffic in cities, offering the human body as a contrast against high powered metal machines. Its aim is to create an awareness of this vulnerability and point out both the inadequate provision for safe cycling and an over reliance of cars in our city centres. It can also be viewed as a celebration of our bodies. Where is it? The route starts from the car park on Colum Drive (rear of Aberconway Hall) The What3words location are theme.gender.drama. The ride will take in a varied part of our city, including the city centre area, Cardiff Bay including the Senedd building, St Mary Street and will terminate at the car park. This year we will be starting and finishing the ride at the same place. Please note that the nearest toilet facilities will be in the museum, as we do not have access to the university buildings. Start and end point location: Colum Drive, (rear of Aberconway Hall). Cardiff. The What3words location are moon.valid.trains There may be facility for people to leave bags/clothes AT YOUR OWN RISK at the car park during the duration of the ride. When do I need to be there? Please meet at the car park from 12:00 onwards for bike and body preparation. The ride is scheduled to depart from this location at 14:00 hrs. Body painting can be done here, in addition to adding flags and banners to bikes. We hope to have a bike mechanic in place who can assist with any mechanical related issues. Please bring bells, horns, whistles. This year we will also have portable sound system accompanying us on the ride! Naked? This is indeed the World Naked Bike Ride but you do not have to be fully naked if you do not want to be. 'As Bare as You Dare' is the theme. From past experience we have seen that many people start out partly dressed but somehow end up disrobing en route! Fancy dress is also a popular alternative! A few pointers • There are usually a number of people happy to lend a hand in body painting, but if you have paints or are willing to get some, please do. •Slogan suggestion ideas can be downloaded from https://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/wiki/Slogans please print those and attach to your bike. • This is a good natured and friendly event. Many people describe it as having a 'carnival like' atmosphere despite its serious message. • Spread the word among your friends. The more people in the protest, the better the impact will be. Invite them through Facebook. • Being naked in public in Britain is not against the law. (It's just what you do while naked that matters!) • Fancy dress/masks also welcome! Nudity not compulsory • It will be a day you will NEVER forget!
