| Norwich ride has taken some time to get
off the ground and has its own management. The ride has had some problems with
finding a flat route but we hope to have news soon. At the moment the ride is
looking for a new ride leader so the ride is under collective management. The
Norwich ride was created by David Hughson who is now the chairman of the Four
Seasons and as our elected chairman is forbidden from running an event or
protest himself. Like the other events and protests, Norwich ride is
independent of the direct control of any other events and protests. |
| Socially nude protests are a relatively
new phenomenon in the UK, and indeed the world. Fashion accentuates the human
form in many ways, focusing on both male and female anatomical attributes.
Nudity, however, is an absolute, inasmuch as it's nothing added, nothing taken
away. Nudity is what we are in basic form. We think the Bike Rides have been
revolutionary in helping to remove potential stigmas, misconceptions, and guilt
surrounding the human body. There have been dichotomies around people's
thinking regarding nudity. For example- the brutal effigy of the semi-naked
Christ, crucified, has been an accepted religious icon in western civilisation
for over two thousand years, as are classically nude statues and art forms. In
other areas however ie photographic imagery, nudity has often be deemed illegal
or obscene. I think it's necessary to look at these dichotomies. All of the
rides are clothes optional, so nobody is under any pressure. It's more about
being nonconformist, loud, colorful, and flamboyant. In organising this ride,
we consider the safety of its participants a major priority and liaising with
the police and council, risk assessments are carried out and the route is
planned. Currently, the protest is held annually during the Summer all over the
UK. We hope to see you on the Norwich ride. |
