I am raising money for Diabetes UK, and I would really welcome your support.

The World Naked Bike Ride was on 9 June 2007 to protest against oil dependency, and there were many rides worldwide on this day. Last year over 3,000 riders rode across the world. I  cycled in Brighton, starting at The Level (BN2 3FX) at 10:00. See worldnakedbikeride.org/uk for more details. Please dig deep to support the work of Diabetes UK.

Take a moment to visit my online fundraising page and make a donation. It's really easy - you can donate by credit or debit card at http://www.justgiving.com/theblissride2007, and join me in supporting Diabetes UK.

All donations are secure and sent electronically to Diabetes UK. If you are a UK taxpayer, Justgiving will automatically reclaim 28% Gift Aid on your behalf, so your donation is worth even more.

I have now posted a report of the 2006 day - with photographic evidence - at http://www.theblisspages.com/cms.php?mbid=411 and the 2007 day is at http://www.theblisspages.com/cms.php?mbid=505.

Also see my poem 'the naked cyclist' at www.theblisspages.com/cms.php?mbid=413, 'does my bum look big on this?' at www.theblisspages.com/cms.php?mbid=501 and 'awakening' at www.theblisspages.com/cms.php?mbid=508.

Thank you,

Mike Bliss
