Naked Bike Ride Southampton - A film



Friday 11th of June did not enjoy the 'flaming' weather that tradition would have. Instead it was a bit cold. But this did not deter the 200 or so cyclists, environmentalists and naturists who met at the top end of Southampton Common to strip off and cycle into the town centre en masse.

This followed an earlier ride in Portsmouth. Rob Jordan, a local IT specialist, organised the ride as a part of the #WorldNakedBikeRide, a global initiative to publicise cycling safety and dependency on oil.

Some of the riders started at out Southampton's Art House to paint their bodies. At 6:30pm they set off to ride the route into the town centre and back. We recorded the following film:

Great film Simon! Thanks for taking the time to film us as we made our way round a very chilly Southampton. Hopefully this video will show people how much fun we had and encourage many more next year.
