    I was surprised to see it listed on the Bike Week events page, as I had a nagging thought that a previous WNBR for Edinburgh was cancelled on grounds of (lack of) decency. I suppose to use the torpedo would be cheating.

    Reminds me of the World Clothed Bike Ride.

    Well the 2008 one happened -

    The police were happy to attend -

    Since then there might have been 2 more.

    One year was VERY wet and only a tiny number turned up, and I don't know if they bothered to ride anywhere.

    Forecast for Sunday is overcast, not too hot, hardly any wind - sounds ideal...

    I'm not following. Exactly which aspects of cycle culture would riding around dangling, wobbling and chafing be in celebration of?

    I think one of the original ideas was to highlight 'vulnerability' - 'soft bodies'.

    Obviously it's also to 'attract people to cycling'...

    But...

    If I turn up in full enough drag, will they turn me away?

    I'm pretty sure I'd still have to have a song to have any chance of winning.

    WNBR is a competition?
