they do it to tease Pedro a bit :) actually, if EVERY single babe went fully nude, most of us guys would probably faint dead of a heart attack, so consider they are doing it to help us out.

But now Pedro will say, just about all the Spanish girls ride it fully nude. So I guess they must not be so concerned for our hearts as the British girls...

It's true, klondike, the WNBR started here in Spain and (although it has not really spread as much as other countries like the UK and USA) naked bike ride MEANS NAKED, not 'dare as you bare'. ;)

The Spanish girls at Brighton are always fully naked....and gorgeous to boot!!:D:D

Loads more original 2009 shots like the one below to come from me, as we approach the wonderful nude cycling season in June.

The guy who is setting up the first ever Naked Bike Ride in Madison, Wisconsin on June 19th is trying to convince everybody to go nude and nude only. BUT, a couple others mentioned that maybe it would be a good idea to just worry about getting the first ride to even happen and worry less on the amount of nudity. Since Madison is only a couple hours away from Chicago and happening on a seperate weekend as their ride, a decent turnout shouldn't be too hard to come up with.

you make a rule like that and a lot of women will just opt out entirely. Not good. Better topless only than nothing at all (so to speak). But college town rides should be pretty good no matter what the rules, and I'm surprised Madison has been without one up until now.

KLondike

Klondike is correct, this topic has come up in the UK several times.

If you make a nude only ride, 95% of riders will be male, kinda tough if only 10 folks turn up too! Bare as you dare allows people to go along and adjust their level of dress (or undress) to la evel they are happy with. If 400 turn up and half go fully nude, at least another 50 will join them. If 9 nude guys turn up, any women not with one of the guys will likely carry on past the start and go home.

Here are two more (new to here I think) original shots from Southampton 2009.

Barcelona 2010
 

I will probably be in Barcelona on June 13th, any suggestions where I can get the best pictures.. I might just try to catch a view

I suggest you bookmark the page below, being Spain it has not been updated for 2010 yet:rolleyes:, but it will give details in a month or two. I seem to remember a fountain featuring in the ride there, always good for photos.

Yeah, I am surprised to. Last year I read in the newspaper that an attempt was made for the bike ride but nobody was interested. This year I think one of the people planning it is a women who has done it before and another person interested is a 20-year old college girl. It should be good.

A few more for today, just under 3 months to go before the 2010 rides...
