Sydney WNBR first to be cancelled
 

As suspected - the cancellations have begun:(

My city's is in July/august so who knows

major bummer
 

Alas, I too fear this is fated to be a very short thread. Ironically the naked bike rides are likely to be low risk- generally participants inevitably remain a metre or two away from each other, the elements quickly disperse any localised contagion, and there are few shared surfaces involved. Advice is that outdoors exercise is even encourageable for those self isolating, for mental and physical health reasons.

But the symbolism of the events are such that when all other gatherings are cancelled, the organisers won't want to risk being accused of reckless behaviour, or worse. Let's hope it doesn't make a permanent dent in future ride participation. :(:(:(

As a minor aside, the Beltane festival in Edinburgh is also cancelled.

Not to be negative, but I think the risk is the opposite. Many riders are right up against each other and intrusive photographers routinely jump out and lean right in to take a shot.

Byron Bay.

First girl was there last year also.

The photographer responsible for these photos shared earlier has uploaded the rest of their collection on Flickr. However, they're all watermarked. You can find them at Flickr at /photos/42424438@N00/albums/72157713559423871

Well at the moment I think our planet has more important things to worry about than whether a few people get their kit off or not.

Agreed. I'd rather we all stay healthy so that we can have more WNBRs even if some of this year's are cancelled.
