Sheffield World Naked Bike Ride - Saturday 19 June

Sheffield Naked Bike Ride | 08.06.2010 21:39 | Climate Chaos | Culture | Energy Crisis | Sheffield

A peaceful, imaginative and fun protest against oil dependency and car culture. A celebration of the bicycle and also a celebration of the power and individuality of the human body. A symbol of the vulnerability of the cyclist in traffic. The world's biggest naked protest: 50+ cities and thousands of riders participate worldwide, including more than 1500 in the UK in 2007.



Date: Saturday 19 June 2010
Time: 10 am

Location: off Rustlings Road in Endcliffe Park, at the Victoria Monument (this area is just off the Ecclesall Road, and south-west of Sheffield city centre

Endcliffe Park (Hunters Bar roundabout entrance)
Rustlings Road, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S11 7AB

Be prepared

First off, check your bike is in good working order. Bring something to safely carry your clothes in (panniers, rucksack, etc)- this is important as the rides does not finish back at Endcliffe Park. Bring a spare inner tube in case of puncture. Finally, you might want to decorate your bike and body with slogans, and bring bells and whistles!

Route

The third 2010, Sheffield World Naked Bike Ride starts in Endcliffe Park at the Victoria Monument.

NOTES: Try and avoid gathering near the Endcliffe Park Cafe as this is a family cafe. DO NOT GET COMPLETELY UNDRESSED IN THE PARK - EITHER leave on a minmal amount to whip off just outside the gates, or once we're on to Ecclesall Road, or wait for the halt at St Marys Gate Roundabout
