World Naked Bike Ride...exclusive pics!
 

Hello from Seattle! I had a lot of fun today covering the Seattle World Naked Bike Ride - really just doing my duty to help spread the word about our dire energy situation.:)

I'm just working up the pics now and it will take a few days for me to get them ready. here is a "teaser" pic (also a test pic because I'm not sure how the brightness, color, etc is going to look).

There was a good turnout of nudes and I feel very fortunate to be able to bring you these pics. I have many, MANY more (including dozens of this girl). So - stay tuned and I'll also include a detailed event report.

one more
 

thats it for now. More tomorrow. Klondike

funny sequence
 

Check this out - before the ride started, there was body painting that was supposedly sealed off from the public. Well almost.....As you can see, this older woman was visible when she squated down to paint. But now look what happens next - a guy walks right by the tent, and whoaa!!!..he does a double take and then goes back for a close up look. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the pics! That last one is classic..

photographers everywhere
 

They warn you to be "respectful" if you are planning on photographing the WNBR. In otherwords - stay back.
Now look at this pic and tell me if you think this guy is complying and if that babe really cares!

The ride stopped at the fountain at the Seattle Center. Get naked, then get wet!

Great job Klondike! :)

Thanks,

nice work

These are killer! Thanks so much for your efforts. I love the girl in these and my wife loves the barber-pole dicked guy. I have some bike pics from 2004 that I don't think I've seen on OCC. I could post them here if you like, but I wouldn't want to taint your post if not, it's so good.

please post
 

I'd love to see your bike pics. Post 'em wherever - here's OK as long as they are WNBR :)

thanks and I'll have more myself soon -

next batch
 

Because my camera was in "continous shooting mode" while taking these, I've got a lot of pics that are nearly identical to other pics. So I have to decide which to post and which are essentially dups not worth posting. Anyway, no problem with the next batch :) BTW - sorry there are no pics of people actually ON their bikes - everyone had to dismount once they got to the Seattle center....

enjoy,

Klondike

three more
 

Three more pics. Its interesting, but there is another naked ride here next weekend - the Fremont Summer Solstice parade. Two rides back to back! I'm not sure about going - do you'all want me to go? :)

Klondike

YES, please go! Your pictures are amazing. Here's a couple of the set I have. If they're reposts, I won't post further.

post all you got
 

Post 'em all! - those are from the Seattle 2004 ride, I think. I don't remember seeing them at OCC, though.

Here's my last batch for today. I've pretty much posted the better stuff now.

Thanks for your feedback!

last for today
 

last one. Klondike

I recently found a 22minute free vid of the seattle bike ride.
I was so excited! :o

Unfortunately hardly any girls :( if they were there they were only topless :rolleyes: and too much footage of free willy....

why dont more women get their bush out!

Thanks again Klondike, I always love your posts, but these are fantastic. And if anyone has that video, I'd love to see it. Here's a couple more from 04, including one response to the request that more women get their bush out.

Ahh, you get such bushy girls at these things

I really like your pictures.

seen it
 

I've seen the vid. Its something like 100megs, so hard to post. I'll try and find the link, but I think it was off of the official WNBR site. There was one scene I liked where a woman is painting a guys dick and brushing against it with her hand. The babes were just average.

Here's a link to the vid mentioned previously:

more links associated with the Seattle ride
 

I found this link to a site owned by one of the women that rode in this ride. Kind of an interesting look at what type of people you find out there supposedly "protesting" naked. I think she's promoting herself, not protesting. What do you think?

Klondike

Yeah, I think you're right there.

She seems a bit wacky too

It's hard to get turned on by that level of vanity.

Wacky and Vain????
 

First off thanks for the pics guys much appreciated!

But, let's be realistic here...and this isn't meant as a criticism of WNBD or similar political public nudity events (really more power to 'em) ...but I mean you have to be a little bit wacky and vain to be an exhibitionist with an agenda. Not everyone rides around the city with their bits and pieces hanging out to make a political or social point.

I've seen the naked PETA protests...lovely women too...but it's not much of a turn on.

For me - when it comes to these large public nudity events - give me the "balloon dance" or "the naked mile" or "primal scream" or those similar events. It's spontanious and normally participated in by people who wouldn't normally do so. Furthermore they have no real agenda other then drinking, daring and having a laff.

My two.

Cheers!

thanx Klondike, that was indeed the vid I mentioned! Damn you're good :eek: :D

You know, with WNBR, I think that exhibitionists riding may be the exception, not the rule. I understand that Seattle is the original "home" of the WNBR, and it may be that some felt pressure to have a decent turnout of babes. So enter the exhibitionist and a ringer or two. But I've noticed with some other WNBR rides, the "talent" is fresh and not much different than what you'd get at a U of Vermont ride. Portland this year turned out over 500 people (at night) and it was a young, spontaneous group. I was really surprised to see the babes in Seattle gleefully posing for the cameras. They all seemed to. This isn't what I was lead to expect with this event.
Its nice to get such easy photo ops, but what i really wanted was the first timers like you mentioned - and I think at some other rides, that's primarily what you get. What I heard about the Portland ride made me want to do that one next year - just a crazy assed good time!

very cool set

I feel sorry that I missed the rally.

davidavin is Klondike......two more pics...
