Riders can wear whatever they like but are encouraged to dress up or wear uniform.

For the bold we have free body paint and trained makeup artists to apply it.

Painted riders count twice in the Community Challenge Cup.

Painted rainbow riders - The Human Rainbow is an art project.

Riding in your briefs feels great. It's no different to riding in lycra

If you want to be a painted rider, you can wear your budgie smugglers or brief bikini bottoms.

You must wear at least a G-string. Helmet and shoes are compulsory.

We need to be able to paint over your swimwear. If possible, it should match the colour you choose.

Small, appropriately coloured jewellery and accessories are permitted.

You don't have to be painted, you can wear whatever you like.

All participants must wear an approved safety helmet and shoes.
