Bristol World Nake Bike Ride 2025 Supporters

Thanks to...

First and foremost, the many and varied wonderful people who turn out to participate in World Naked Bike Rides, raising awareness about cyclists' vulnerability, and having a blast doing so!

A few post-ride remarks from participants:

"I just wanted to say the biggest thank you to all of you today for welcoming me in and making me feel so safe and protected. Today was a huge deal for me - I saw you all doing it on 07 July 2023 and was in awe of you all. 18 months ago I was in a pretty bad way after two bouts of post-natal depression and had completely and utterly lost myself. I taught myself to ride a bike with my head and heart set on doing this today, and it was liberating and gave me everything and more that I wanted from it. Thank you again and hopefully see you all again for another one. My sincerest thank-yous!" - C. (Cardiff 2024)

"Thanks to all concerned for making my first Bristol World Naked Bike Ride an enjoyable and liberating experience!" - I. (Bristol 2023)

"Hi all, thank you for a great day, especially the stewards and organisers. My first time being naked in public or with other people, and I've talked myself out of doing the WNBR multiple times. Was very nervous going by myself, but glad I took the plunge! Because of my job, I opted for a sort-of disguise, but now thinking of going along to the Cardiff one too where I won't have to!" - Anon (Bristol 2023)

"Thank you to the team who obviously put a lot work into this year's ride. Thanks also to my fellow riders for making it one of the best ever rides. Finally, thanks Thor for holding off on the rain and thunder!" - M. (Bristol 2023)

Super friendly, no-nonsense spot to grab a bite. This year's ride will pass by, so you might be able to grab a cold drink if you're quick, or pop back later for a more leisurely cuppa!
