The previous World Naked Bike Ride for Cardiff was 8 June 2025, with 2026 TBC.
Location: Park Place, Cardiff CF10 3AT, UK - Meeting on the grass between the National Museum and University of Cardiff University Biological Sciences building (Park Place CF10 3BB).
Bike and body preparations begin at 12.30pm with the ride commencing at 2.30pm. You can sign up on either or Facebook or Eventbrite page - or just turn up. If you do register your interest though, it does help us to estimate how many riders to expect and cater for.
As bare as you dare. Nudity makes a great statement, and many of us will be completely naked again this year and the more that are the better - but if you're more comfortable in a little clothing, that's fine too. Some people find that wearing body paint makes them feel not naked, even if they might not be wearing any clothes! On previous rides, riders wore shorts, bras, swimwear, body paint, head-dresses, wigs, sunglasses etc. Most wore footwear and brought bags to carry clothes. Some started the ride in a few clothes, and shed them during the ride! Body painting and adornment, customised bikes, portable seed-trays and other creative expression are all strongly encouraged.
The police have facilitated some previous rides; riders found the officers most helpful, and they in turn fully acknowledged our right to demonstrate in our chosen manner saying that they were impressed with the public reaction last year. Overwhelmingly most people react positively on seeing the ride. Expect cheers and applause, as well as looks of bewilderment! Being naked in public isn't illegal in the UK. It only becomes a problem if combined with lewd behaviour. Don't act in an offensive or lewd manner and you are not going to get arrested. Indeed in 2014 the police considered that they did not need to attend, and were happy to let us ride naked through the city without an escort!
The Cardiff ride uses a photographic policy based on that used by the London ride, setting out the terms under which photographers will operate. It is hoped that any riders or members of the press wishing to photograph the ride will also feel able to abide by it's terms.
WORLD NAKED BIKE RIDE - CARDIFF PHOTOGRAPHIC POLICY
Photographing and filming policy
This is the first policy written by members of the World Naked Bike Ride - Cardiff.
POLICY
Photography is a means of promoting the message propagated through banners and body paint but needs to be done respectfully. Being in a public place, the law does not often support individuals but rather photographers' rights, during this ride, there are some restrictions to photographs and videos. This policy is intended to discourage any inconsiderate photography which may take place. We wish to create a safe and supportive environment for all riders. All photographers present at the ride must abide by this policy. Those who don't will be asked to leave. This includes any riders and press.
PHOTOGRAPHERS' BEHAVIOUR
Photographers are expected to behave in a respectful, friendly and reasonable manner at all times. If you make any rider uncomfortable, you will be required to leave the assembly/ride area.
AT THE ASSEMBLY AREA (before and after the ride)
Ask permission before photographing a rider
No photos of people dressing, or undressing, being painted are permitted unless requested by riders or permission granted by the subject
No photos of people in the designated no photo zone
DURING THE RIDE
No close-up photos without consent from the rider
ENFORCING THE PHOTO POLICY (by you the riders)
Our hope is that all riders will be aware of the policy and feel comfortable enough to step forward to debate the policy. If any riders should wish not to be photographed at the event, there are some measures you are able to take to prevent this happening.
At World Naked Bike Ride London riders often create a "Photo Policy Enforcement Board" a sign to attach to card with an example of the policy and a sign that says, "This Photo was taken without permission". This can be downloaded from the following link: We will be handing out a Code of Conduct card to riders as they arrive.
It's not essential to sign up for the ride - you can just turn up on the day - but it does help to get an idea of anticipated numbers. To sign up, visit our Facebook page . Facebook users can also sign up by following the link to our facebook events page. Please join our Facebook Group to show your interest. The event will be published on this Facebook page, so when it is set up, please sign up to let us know that you want to come along!. [www.facebook.com/groups/194410707262234].
