Gilmour said: "I'm a naturist who just loves to be able to experience everyday life without the restrictions of clothing, promoting body positivity, embracing the individuality that is our bodies, showing people it’s ok to be different whether that be size, shape or colour and the general wellbeing it can give you."But most of all it's meeting so many new people and making new friends while cycling.

If I was clothed no one bothers you, you just ride past, but when in the buff people are just genuinely intrigued and want to know more."Gilmour had not planned on using his outing as a charitable act, but said the attention he received from the nude cycling has prompted him to plan a naked bike ride, DerbyshireLive reports.He said: "I had no idea this would get so much attention - I’m genuinely shocked.
