World Naked Bike Ride 2015

The World Naked Bike Ride is held in various cities all over the world, and comes to Manchester each year in early June. This is the 2015 ride around Manchester's city centre. After several peaceful years of protest by the cyclists, the police are happy to let the riders be guided by their own marshalls around an agreed route. Getting naked, or as bare as they dare, the riders are commanding attention to protest about the use of fossil fuels, and the vulnerability of cyclists, while at the same time celebrating the human body in the open air. The people of Manchester greeted the 200 plus peloton with cheers of support on a barmy balmy evening.
