Here are some more from Chicago. I'm pretty sure this is the biggest ride in the US--though this year's numbers aren't out yet it was probably bigger than the 600 they got in 2007. Consequently it's probably the best ride for photos. Even though most of the girls aren't fully nude, just by sheer numbers there are plenty of winners.

What's even more important is that the Chicago organizers seem to be OK with and even exploit the voyeuristic aspect to promote their cause. For example they have their own team of official photographers to document the event (including the painting party as Pedro posted) and then post them on the web, which is why I'm sure we'll be seing hundreds more photos in the coming days. Secondly, though I think they don't publicize the exact route until right before the event, they DO publicize a designated "viewing area" where they encourage spectators to gather and take pictures as the riders go by. This is in an extremely busy nightlife section of the city, and judging by the photos I've seen, it looks like the ride pretty much slows down to a crawl when it hits this section. Photos 1-6 were taken at the "viewing area" and you can see how people are just walking their bikes through a gauntlet of gawkers. I love the smiles on the riders faces as they pass by. They seem a little overwhelmed by the attention, but they're certainly enjoying it.

A couple more cool things about these photos. From other pics I know the girl in pic 1 started the ride with both sides of her chest fully covered by body paint. Apparently she didn't take into account that her strap would rub off one side completely. I can help but wonder if that's adding that little bit of extra self-consciousness I think I see in her smile.

I've seen a bunch of photos of the second girl with pasties on throughout the ride. I wonder if she lost them or took them off on purpose?

Two more from Chicago. A nice bw photo and then painting party pic. I've seen lots of photos of her from last year wearing pasties. Nice to see she took another step. Maybe she'll go fully nude next year...

The last two are from Portland.

A few from London. This ride has already been mined pretty well, but a found a nice series of a fully naked brunette. I love the posed shots. I threw in the last photo just because...

A few more painting party pics. I love the foregrounded nips in pic2. Actually, I think they belong to the girl from the earlier Chicago post where I commented on how her paint had rubbed off during the ride. Notice the bandana? I wasn't lying.

OMFG i threw up in my mouth a little. wow, i have never ever seen a grown woman not shave her legs at ALL

Flanker7, you have posted some truly awesome pics! many thanks, Klondike

Portland OR
Now I have a problem, and one that may have a certain respected poster (beginning with a 'K';))here scratching his head! A new contributor at coccozella has just put up shots of this ride AND IT CONTINUED WELL INTO DAYLIGHT, if the shots are to be believed. If this true, it may be both the biggest and longest ride in the world! If only all of the USA were like the Pacific north west, I might even visit the USA:D

Here are a few I have modified to comply with the rules here.....

PS, check out the last shot, they have even provided mobile parking for your bike!!!!...and it is not that rail:o:o[/QUOTE]

Pedro, Portland actually has TWO separate rides. There is a MUCH smaller one the afternoon before the nighttime ride. I attended last year and it wasn't very good. THis year, I completely forgot about it but should have gone because the weather was better.

KLondike

So Portland is may be the first WNBR city with not just one ride but two rides. :eek:
I also had the opportunity to see those Coccopics and had the same thoughts/questions by myself as Pedro had.
So thanks Klondike for the explenation. :)

Great job!!

Very nice pics and exciting situation.

What about having your girlfriend or wife in that situation??

You would be more ashamed or more excited of it?

Here some more.

Bye
