What is the World Naked Bike Ride?
The world naked bike ride is a worldwide environmental protest against the destructive elements of car culture and a celebration of the bicycle and the body. By cycling naked we show the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets. We aim to promote cycling as a sensible and fun means of transport and demand practical changes to make cycling a safer alternative to car travel. Nudity optional, come as bare as you dare.

About The Four Seasons Established In 2014.
The name Four Seasons was chosen by the four original founders and voted on by one hundred and twenty-five of our voting supporters to represent our collective group of events and protests. As the name was agreed to by a vote of our supporters it will require a vote of our supporters in order to change it. The Four Seasons is based in four counties in the UK Cambridgeshire, Essex, Suffolk & Norfolk, and is the biggest collective group in the United Kingdom outside of London. It is made up out of three bodies, The Collective, The Group, and The Committee. The three bodies within the Four Seasons region always work together as one in order to make each protest and event in our region a success and we are very supportive of the events and protests arranged by the other bodies that make up the Four Seasons.

THE FOUR SEASONS COLLECTIVE Are the people that run the world naked bike rides in the four seasons region only. THE FOUR SEASONS GROUP Are the people that deal with funding and fundraising in the four seasons region. THE FOUR SEASONS COMMITTEE Are the people that run non nude bike ride related events in the four seasons region.

Chelmsford ride may be one of the smallest rides but it is still a lot of fun and has many supporters from the local community. Like the other rides, in our region, we have had to deal with many derogatory comments from the other UK. rides and members of the public. We like the other rides in our region work with the police to ensure the ride runs to the highest standards of safety. When to comes to complaints we don't receive any from the local police or the authorities about this ride. We are always making small changes to the ride to make it better and we are looking forward to the next season of rides. Socially nude protests are a relatively new phenomenon in the UK, and indeed the world. Fashion accentuates the human form in many ways, focusing on both male and female anatomical attributes. Nudity, however, is an absolute, inasmuch as it's nothing added, nothing taken away. Nudity is what we are in basic form. We think the Bike Rides have been revolutionary in helping to remove potential stigmas, misconceptions, and guilt surrounding the human body. There have been dichotomies around people's thinking regarding nudity. For example- the brutal effigy of the semi-naked Christ, crucified, has been an accepted religious icon in western civilisation for over two thousand years, as are classically nude statues and art forms. In other areas however ie photographic imagery, nudity has often be deemed illegal or obscene. I think it's necessary to look at these dichotomies. All of the rides are clothes optional, so nobody is under any pressure. It's more about being nonconformist, loud, colorful, and flamboyant. In organising this ride, we consider the safety of its participants a major priority and liaising with the police and council, risk assessments are carried out and the route is planned. Currently, the protest is held annually during the Summer all over the UK. We hope to see you on the Chelmsford ride.
