Oxford WNBR
 

AFAIK The first UK WNBR of 2023 will be at Oxford this Sunday 4th June.

There is good news in certain respects. The weather in the UK at the moment is great, in fact perfect for a naked bike ride.

However this bike ride seems to have had little publicity, not even a Facebook page as far as I can tell. It has been run once before in 2014, a small ride of the usual middle aged over weight men with (if memory serves) one fully nude female.

WNBR 2023
 

Will be going to both London and Brighton rides as a photographer, have to see if a sausage fest or more ladies take the plunge and ride

Has the Deptford starting point been any good in London or would you rather recommend one of the central London ones? I haven't found any photos from Deptford, so makes me think it's a sausage fest or private area.

Hot London
 

Heatwave predicted for next weekend in London (and Brighton)!!

I think the central ones would be more reliable. Deptford is a bit dodgy and I can't imagine ladies feeling too comfortable stripping off there!

The Deptford start looked really good last year, based on the photos of someone who was there. But they may well have been a naked participant. In my experience, no matter where you start or what you plan, it tends to come down entirely to luck as to whether you get any decent snaps or not. Last year's ride was IMHO excellent but chaotic. Trying to bring multiple starts together smoothly rarely goes to plan. Some people I kept seeing, some I saw only once or not at all.

Bellingham (about 90 miles north of Seattle WA) was this past Sunday; videos in 360-degree but rather poor quality at youtube.com/@flyhigh_G/videos

Nice! I mean the videos are so blurry it’s hard to tell who’s wearing nude-colored underwear, but if it’s not too misleading, it looks like there was some great talent there… if we can find any clear images.

Story says that Philadelphia beat out Portland as the best city for naked bike rides. Based on participants per population, the numbers don’t nearly support that, but maybe if Philly hears about it, they’ll get it in gear and make it true, and maybe Portland will get more competitive too, so spread the word. Yes I know it’s not a fair comparison when Philly’s is in daytime and Portland’s is at night, but it doesn’t matter, because what matters is everybody getting those numbers up. :D

And if Chicago and New Orleans get mad because they’re not even mentioned, even better.
