I was talking above about the photographer-rider relationship and then along comes this pic.

From Sao Paulo, 2009. kinda makes me sad, but instead of a ruined shot, we have a very interesting shot (and statement)

It's the same woman from the last picture in my post; not sure if she just doesn't want her image all over the world, or if she's only concerned about getting into local trouble: in SP last year there were confrontations with police, resulting in people having to cover up, and it looks like the stance was more unbending this year. On the brighter side, Oz's Melbourne and NZ's Golden Bay were fully nude: here are some from the former I didn't try to get bigger sizes of (they're from news media and pixellated, but they indicate there will be more to see as pictures from those rides come in). Note that, as happened a couple of years ago in Boulder, a wedding was caught up in the fun...

noting the less than stellar quality of the melbourne pics makes me feel a little better about my own. here's two of mine from Eugene. Thanks Crispus - I love 'em all - hi Q and lo Q so please don't stop posting....

The guy in purple pants was a homeless man, possibly inebrieted, who just got caught up in the excitement of the ride. He was just walking down the sidewalk pushing his shopping cart when it all happened. So he decides to try and give the riders high fives as they go by:) Most just laughed and waved, but one topless girl took him up on the offer (second pic). Pretty funny...

I do have a few pics that are better quality than these, so stay tuned..

EDIT: Hey wait - these weren't taken in the southern hemisphere, so I can't put them here, right? :) I mean, Eugene is about halfway to the NORTH pole, not south :) I think its great that no one here wants to miss out on the fun. If someone SOMEWHERE is having a ride, they're gunna ride too, come rain or sleet or snow!!

Even though the pic's a bit blurry, you can tell that girl's a total cutie. The sexy stockings and panties are a nice touch, too. Great work in catching her, Klondike. Any chance you happened to get more of her?

Thanks

Fango

yes, and she looks great in every pic. I have more pics of her than any other girl. Just not that high res. Look for them..

here's a better one. Klondike

Turns out Eugene was not the only Northern Hemisphere "solidarity" event: Brighton also had one; the only photo I found other than this one, though, is over 7MB and doesn't really show much more... http://nicksayers.com/_files/bnbr-pr...9-JJWaller.jpg for the big one.

Agh, you beat me to it crispus!
These are the organisers and friends of the Brighton WNBR. The gathering was a way of promoting the event via the local media and getting the word out for June 14th 2009. I had an invite to attend, but could not make it! That blonde girl is new to me, she was not on the ride in 2008.

YES! There WAS nudity, however little, at Sao Paolo, in addition to a little discreet top-dropping (or at least unhooking, as was the case in Lima last year: a common expedient when the police are looming), the latter seen in the first and second pictures. The lone nude woman from last year, seen getting painted on that ride in the last picture, did attend and get painted, but I haven't found any from this year where she removed so much as her top. But, as they say, the devil is in the details, and here I've found her (check the little horns!): doing the roll-down-panties trick (so much cuter than when the men do it), full monty, bike lifting (probably only top-free, though the photo doesn't show it), and finally covered back up after the police are on scene.

I am almost certain this pic I took will be the best one to surface from the Eugene March ride. Experience pays off here. Last year, I had no idea what direction the riders were going to take off in at the start. This year, I knew they would head south, and so I made sure I parked and stood in the right spot to get them as they departed Monroe Park.

Oh, and having this ride in daylight too didn't hurt, I suppose......:) note the rain - and that my lens stayed dry!
