This world is seriously turned upside down...I'm starting to think these events are nothing but an excuse for a bunch of exhibitionists to expose themselves to unsuspecting women and children using protest as a guise. Clearly this woman has no idea what it's about. If it wasn't for people like you I wouldn't even have known that these events even existed. My hat is off to you and your fellow photogs.

At that stage there was no other participants there. She then tried to harangue me into getting a press pass and going inside the painting area to take pictures :confused: I personally consider that area off limits as the ride isn't underway at that point.

I was talking to a freelance press snapper who said WNBR Brighton is heading the way of many (non-nude) events and the heavy handed attitude of certain so-called official people connected to the ride is losing them a lot of friends in the media. They'll be happy the year absolutely no one turns up to cover the ride.

I spoke to main organiser Nick Sayers and explained why I post on here. The WNBR threads on this forum remain the best source for unbiased information re the UK rides. So it's a porn forum - no one involved with these bikes rides has ever looked at a bit of porn, I'm sure :rolleyes: Could you imagine this sort of utterly ludicrous situation at any other event? It's nothing to do with the riders. Myself and my snapping buddy found the participants great fun and perfectly happy to be photographed - they wouldn't be taking part if they weren't. A little bit of respect goes a long way.

As ever, I would always be more than happy for anyone I snapped to see the pictures I took. For me, these rides are just fun events, the nudity is pretty much irrelevant. I know there's interest in the rides from people who enjoy seeing naked people - it's laughable for some folks to pretend otherwise.

Meanwhile, as serious snappers were being harassed, you had obvious pervs getting up to see sorts of things. The notorious 'Mr Cloth' was there and getting spoken to by the police for his inappropriate behaviour - and allowed to remain on the ride :rolleyes: One tourist was seen holding a guy's penis while a friend photographed him. One guy was spotted by someone I spoke to later giving another guy a hand job in the painting area, albeit discretely. Various of the well known pervsters such as Mr Willy Scaffold were there with their point and shoots with no one taking any notice of them because they had their bits out. Mr Folding Bike, previously banned from every ride in the UK, now seems to be an accepted part of all the rides, despite his long history of making crude and inappropriate comments to women. The list goes on.

Despite all this and foul weather, it didn't spoil the day and I was glad I decided to do both London and Brighton this year, after at first thinking I wouldn't. Despite the madness, the London stewards are very professional and sensible in their approach and do a great job. Brighton is a little clique and while most stewards are fine, they always manage to find one or two who behave ridiculously. I would definitely have been more forthright and probably involved the police if faced with someone repeatedly obstructing me from going about my lawful business at any other event. As it was, I knew that that vast majority of my shots would come with the ride underway and at the end of the day, the one and only picture I was prevented from taking was of a flag, and mine being CC usually end up in various media sources reporting on the ride, so it's just a little less publicity for their cause.

And I'm certainly hoping the busty girl in #9 & #10 isn't the shell bra girl that DaveD mentioned. Difficult to tell if it's bodypaint at that resolution but she's also stunning. Hoping for many more!

It's interesting that if we all started a non porn website forum dedicated to the WNBR and posted exactly the same content and the same pictures except with just (and only just) a little bit more moderation (the labia thread for example) or the occasional close up of genitals, then it would be THE resource for unbiased and objective discussion with photo and video sharing on the internet for the WNBR and would probably get a lot of kudos from riders and non-pervy photographers alike. It could be argued that Flickr is actually more 'porn' than this thread!

However do a Google search and you wind up here, c'est la vie. Yes well the other parts of this site is porn and do I browse those sections of hard core porn, no, I'm here, like very many others (including riders, yes it can easily be worked out who) for the WNBR and the occasional public nudity stuff, Bay to Breakers, Spencer Tunick etc.

No, that's not her. Sparkly purple eyebrows, sparkly cyan eyeshadow, sparkly disco pants and the shell bra. You'll know her when you see her. The girls in those last two pictures were in my list though, they are the bouncy floral-knickers "One Less Car" girls. I had the privilege of riding behind the one in the last pic for several minutes, watching her adjust and fidget with her breasts. I guess those garlands tickle!

Unless you have some concrete proof that WNBRs are steering their routes toward playgrounds, etc., you need to stand down on that ridiculous charge. If you are outraged about these exhibitionists, why are you at OCC? A major thing I like about OCC is its support and encouragement of the people who create these events where we get to see the priceless physical beauty of the women who participate in them, even while allowing for some open and critical discussion. Criticizing aspects of these events or other nude culture doesn't mean putting down people who strip off where people know beforehand that there's going to be some nakedness. If you're sneering at these "exhibitionists", then why are you coming to OCC to look upon their nudity in the first place?
