On your marks, get set, go!
Hundreds of naked cyclists are gearing up for Brighton's annual naked bike ride.
About 1,000 people are expected to assemble at Preston Park at 12pm this afternoon before cycling through the heart of the city and along the seafront to Hove before finishing at the naturist beach.
This summer’s event wll also include a fun run and skinny dip in the style of the Olympics.
It is the seventh year the cycle ride, which is part of a world eco protest and celebration of body power, is being held in Brighton and Hove.
Co-organiser Duncan Blink- horn said: “The Naked Bike Ride is partly about facing our fears and challenging ourselves.
“In this Olympic year let us celebrate the awesome power of the human body.”
Mr Blinkhorn will be handing out bananas on the day to help sustain the riders.
