Hi, I'm looking to do this ride in June.
Any advice ?

Just enjoy it.

Make sure you have plenty of sunscreen, even if the weather isn't particularly sunny.

If you are borrowing or hiring a bike, takes a small towel or similar to put over the saddle.

The rides are generally very leisurely, so no need to worry about your fitness (if that might have been an issue).

Hi,
Thank you ! I'll be bringing my own bike, & am fairly fit. I'm really excited to be part of this event this year.

I'd be most worried about the pervs taking photos for later use. Or I would be if I were young and female. As a 50-something male, being used as left-handed rhythm material would be a compliment

What's the point of it? Is it to raise awareness of the vulnerability of cyclists or to raise money for charity etc? I wouldn't do it but each to their own.

It's to have a good couple of hours of laughter and fun

Nice to see you were wearing a helmet...

I thought that came as standard equipment

A mix of things. Not raising money.

Three or so main aims.
Raise awareness of cyclist vulnerability is one of them.
Protest about over use of/ dependence on oil products.
Promoting positive body image.

Initially, the second of those was the main point, but over the years, the first has become the most important.

And yes, as @numbnuts says, a couple of hours of fun and laughter. Usually with an almost entirely positive reaction from bystanders.

I follow the socials of a naturist lady and her partner who regularly does naked bike rides. Documenting a lot of them on youtube so the pervs are on camera, blatantly grabbing material for later..

These men are typically fully clothed if not masked.
