Naked bike ride sees hundreds strip off in London for cheeky jaunt (dailystar.co.uk).
Being part of the 15th year of the annual World Naked Bike Ride promoting with a ride through cities around the world the efficiency, sustainability and health benefits of the bicycle as a mode of transport and body-positive values with a smaller ride in Manchester taking place yesterday.
Today’s ride in London kicked off at six different start points: Tower Hill, Regents Park, West Norwood, Hyde Park, Clapham Junction and Kew Bridge.
Footage showed the riders making their way through the City of London, in various states of undress.
Being as full or partial nudity is encouraged, but not mandatory.
Some went topless, others stripped to their underwear, while the bravest riders wore nothing but a smile.
And encouraged to decorate fully or partially naked self with body paint or fancy dress.
Certainly something more than just #FreedNipples for many, what is the legality of riding past Greggs the bakers with your willy dangling or your flange bare on bicycle seat you may wonder—especially before being tempted to indulge.

So…

The annual event known as Strip and Dip is open to women only and was made up of cancer patients, survivors, and those who knew people with cancer.
And this year breaking skinny dipping records at Magheramore beach near Wicklow, Ireland:
Since 2013, hundreds of naked swimmers have flocked to the beach every year for the event, but this year’s has smashed all previous records.
