WNBR 2011
 

Southern hemisphere (mainly, though SF is also planning a March ride next weekend, in addition to June) early edition; first two from Melbourne, including what's become a staple there: naked bikers surround newlywed couple...more promised shortly (though they'll be watermarked, I'm sure) at www.asbareasyoudare.com/?page_id=315

SF now coming in at flickr, and it looks to be the best for us since '05, or possibly even the standardbearer '04; to see why we'd prefer the efforts of someone whose handle is "oldsterxxx" to someone going by "nakedbear," compare and contrast 1 with 2-4:


(for more than a little more of what you fancy, see flickr.com/photos/39487032@N06/archives/date-taken/2011/03/12/ )...feel free to add any more of these (or others) that catch your eye, as I'm off to bed!

What a great start to the riding season:eek:, I am already in love with young lady with a key around her neck (the key to my heart, perhaps:D), only 3 months to go before the #Big' rides now and this is a very promising start!

San Fransisco 2011 March ride, yesterday.
These are the highlight photos from the Flikr link above (in case you do not know the trick in saving protected photos!), what a shame the girl with the little doggy manages to not to show us her pussy too....handlebars bah!!!!

Here the girl with both her puppy and pussy now on show!

The bike seat makes it look like she has something down there...

Thanks to the sun of California, in march was held in Frisco the 2011 very first WNBR (I think) in northern emishpere! :P
A couple of nice sets just popped up in Flickr during last days...
Enjoy!

very naice......

Lovely spokesmodel for "My Naked TV," dressed (?) as she was for the ride, on a late-afternoon stroll through the park with thisnakedguy...

One new set appeared on Flickr. Here our friend "puppy girl" is shown from several angles of view... :eek:

...and please find here some shots of the girl with dreadlocks and a key around the neck... :D

found these on flickr, also posted in my hippies & dreads thread in the HC section

As with my previous post, Gypsy again post- or mid-ride (is the PFA behind her short a caryatid?); then some I don't recall seeing, from Vancouver '09: if I'm right and they're new here, it might be because they weren't tagged the way I normally search at flickr, which in turn might be because the snapper doesn't seem to have been in search of WNBR, to judge by his photostream. He was apparently out to capture a kite-flying event on or near English Bay, when, walking along below the bike path, his attention diverted somehow, he turned around in time to squeeze off a few quick shots - serendipity strikes again!

some shots from Cape Town's (first ever?) wnbr up on voyeurweb:

Though, sad to say, officialdom intervened at the Newcastle (Oz) WNBR,

"March 12 at 5:15pm - World Naked Bike Ride in Newcastle broken up by Police - Sat 12 Mar 2011 - 8.9 km into a 12.6 km bike ride to protest for peace, sustainability and
cyclists rights, Police broke up the 7th annual World Naked Bike Ride in
Newcastle, NSW Australia. The group of about 15 bike riders, some clothed and and others naked and
decorated in body paint promoting their protest message, rode along the
Honeysuckle harborside cycleway, down Hunter St (the main street of the city),
and through the busy restaurant and cafe precinct of Darby St. The ride was
cheered and applauded by members of the public. Citing an alleged complaint from the public, the Police stopped the ride in Bar Beach. A couple participating in the ride were stopped and questioned by Police
who indicated further action may result. One gentleman was questioned and asked
to get dressed."

there were, nonetheless, these happier moments earlier:

Thanks for the pics but is this a dying event? Not many pics this year :(

we haven't entered the main WNBR season yet.

Don't worry, when London has ride the WNBR, you probably need a new harddisk. :D
Here some facts and figures about 3 rides last year in my collection to show how many we still have to get:

London 2011: 1.75GB, >1000 pics
Brighton 2011: 0.97GB, >730 pics
Chicago 2011: 75MB, 260 pics
;)

The main season is June, with events mainly in the UK and some massive rides (but often at night) in the USA.

The event has reached a sort of plateau as far as numbers are concerned. I have been looking at the various Facebook sites and numbers are a little down on last year at this stage, but in the UK at least, we have another 4 new rides proposed.

I think the turn-out for the ride depends as much on the weather as anything! We have been lucky at Brighton in recent years and I am sure a 'heatwave' weekend will increase numbers and a washout one will shrink the numbers by 50%! So it really is a matter of luck......here's hoping 2011 will be a scorcher!

The behavior some of the snappers (not OCC members, I hope) is causing some organisers to re-schedule the starts on some rides, as they tend to put some riders off, before the ride starts. I can see more riders stripping off only at the last minute this year, which will reduce the photo ops, but if you take the plunge and join the ride, you will have a great time and the ladies will usually be happy to pose for a fellow nude rider!;)

nice stats ;) :D

Top stuff Cant wait.
Wish I wasnt so far away :)

WNBR
 

5 pics ...not sure of the year or if repost...

They are re-posts, because they are not from 2011, which (in the main) has yet to happen! Still, I can never get enough of this event, the best mass public nudity event in the world.

Some More San Fransico Shots

There also seems to be another on May 27

Sad to say, the ones in the last post but one aren't from SF, nor are they from 2011: while the March posts from that flickr user were from that ride, the ones above, as well as all 97 at flickr.com/photos/39487032@N06/archives/date-posted/2011/05/08/ , were that user's reposts from earlier rides, with almost all from ones in the UK. As well as a couple from our own Klondike's first foray into WNBR photography, at Seattle in '06 (or was it '05?), there was only one from SF, from '04; the nighttime one posted here I'm not positive about, but would guess Chicago, though Portland's also possible...

I agree crispus, those old UK shots have been posted several times, some at least are 4 years old! PLEASE, PLEASE keep this thread for 2011 photos ONLY, if you are in doubt, make a single post and the mods can always divert the post to this thread.
There are millions of WNBR shots on the net, let's try and keep this post clear of any but the latest 2011 photos! I am sure it will soon get pretty busy in about 4 week's time!

Shame I'm set to miss it this year, for the first time since 2007.:mad:

York (UK) WNBR this weekend.
 

The UK naked bike week (well 9 days!) starts this coming weekend!

All you UK based OCC members can now have a real chance of contributing photos to this thread.


Remember, if you do not have the courage to strip off and ride, do not get pushy when taking photos, specially of cute girls. Take general shots of the ride and let the magic of digital photography work out the rest on your PC!
Here is the first ride (with details) do a search on Facebook for more info.

Whoops, I forgot that this year Manchester is riding early, on Friday 3rd June...this Friday!
This ride usually attracts several female students and being earlier, there is a chance there maybe even more this year!

Here is the official info page....
hxxp://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=Manchester

Manchester rides tomorrow, their Facebook page is making it the biggest ride ever there.....and they are going to have a warm and sunny evening for just about the first time ever! I just hope that this trend (for a change of weather) is not set to screw up the bigger southern rides the following week, the trend is for cooler than normal days next week. It's been cool and raining here in Spain too, which is almost unheard of in June......Global Warming my ass!

Also, I see that the Brighton ride seems to have had the plug pulled on their Facebook event site, for some reason:(.

It was lovely and warm in Manchester today, 80 degrees the radio said. Apparently it'll be a little warmer tomorrow.

And no, sorry I'm not going down there as I would rather be at home in the garden with my family on a nice weekend evening. I'm sure some else from here will be though.

I'm going to ride the Amsterdam WNBR and may be a week later the WNBR from Wageningen to Arnhem in the Dutch province Gelderland. But that depends on weather forecasts and how many (female)riders are expected because on the same day there is the yearly family/sports event from my employer. My Samsung WB300 pocket camera with 15x zoom is working fine since i get it for my birthday back in januar. Does someone knows how many pics i can make with the camera battery and do i need a spare battery pack?
Good luck and have lots of fun for everyone who is joining a WNBR this year!!!
;)

have these been posted here yet?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/4154644...th/5533012232/

Yes, on page (not telling you)

This thread has 4 pages, it's not gonna take you long to check them is it? :rolleyes:

I am probably breaking a rule here by posting a link to a video, I just thought this was funny. Somebody posted this from the Mancheter ride today wondering what the naked bike ride was all about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zktxkmLGLo0 Not bad since he wasn't planning on taking a video today! ha ha

Thanks for that, amazing what a nice hot sunny day can do, a much higher fully nude female contingent this year, I await any photos with great excitement!!!:D:D I count at least 13 fully nude girlies in a ride of about 80 odd people, plus at least 10 topless riders.

First set now up at flickr (it is to be hoped it's still uploading, as there are only 8 at the moment) /photos/klingon50/sets/72157626753524423/ ; a sampling:

Manchester 2011
 

Had a great ride - lovely girls as usual. Here are a sample of them - hope you enjoy
