Organised by Ian Henden the Portsmouth naked bike ride is an event to raise awarenesses to the vulnerability of cyclists on the roads and to encourage  people to pick up their bikes and get cycling.

The route for the bike ride was as follows -

A standard ride around the streets of Portsmouth, around 5 or 6 miles, 40 minutes; pretty flat. A nice sedentary pace!

    I was sitting on a bus full of people and nobody knew what was going on. They thought it was a gay event or something…and I do not think that young kids will understand the purpose, in fact I am trying to protect my little one from seeing naked strangers and than one day puffff straight into your face without any previous notice…here we come….
    Where is my right as a parent to protect my child???
    The event has an important meaning that bikers are part of the public trafic and that other road users should take care of them. It is not nudity even if that is their dress code.
    And I do not have gymnophobia myself…
    But because of the kind of show I do not think this is a good idea.

    Harry? your the whitest person there, with all that naked biking you do, I would have thought you would be well brown

    Took a stroll to cheer them off at the Rose Gardens thinking they couldn’t actually be totally naked…but they were.  Thought the ladies were very brave given the male attention they were receiving.  I could never do it, but admire those who can.
