Last but not least, my contrribution to this thread, now you have to make this the strongest thread ever. Do you choose to accept this mission or not?

I like thanks as well.

nice pics..

Well, OK the idea Pedro and I had this year was to put WNBR pics into two threads - one for the UK, and one for North America. Of course, that didn't address the question of, like, what about Spain? etc, etc.... but now that this thread has started, how about trying this - just put ALL NON UK pics here. Sound fair enough? Then put the UK WNBR pics in Pedro's UK thread. Then we can add up all the pics at the end and see if the UK beat the rest of the world, which I think is quite likely....:)

Maybe the mods can rename this thread "non UK world naked bike ride 2009" or something like that....

these show Cordelia with A News (if anyone can record that report i would really appreciate it) and some tourists posing for pictures. The last picture shows the other girl who went full nude... i wasn't sure if i wanted to upload that one but here it is.

I really appreciate all the original submissions here. Lets make this a record year for OCC original WNBR pics!

GREAT!!
 

Wow! We just may give Pedro a run for his money!!

Great posting, everyone! I'm so proud of our NW contingent of OCC members. In fact, I'm so proud, I'm just going to have to start posting some of my own pics taken earlier in Portland. I don't have very many, and i was going to delay a bit before putting them up, but this thread is so hot, I just have to get in on the fun. Here goes -

Portland's day ride was better than the one I attended two years ago. Still, there were only three fully nude women, and maybe 4-5 topless. Not bad, though. Still lots of fun. Also, I was trying out my new DSLR camera here. My setting weren't optimal today, but the pics still came out pretty good. Enjoy!

I suppose that all these 29 pics are exact the same as on Flickr??? (Flickr user 'Naturisti' if i remember)
Big thanks for your effort to shoot these nice pics. If the North America is beaten Europe, especially the UK, with this sort of pics (instead of in the famous golf tournament) then i guess no European OCC member will bother about it. ;)

Well shit, I guess I should have brought my camera to work. They rode past my bar twice (at night in Portland). A bunch of customers ran outside to watch it. I mean, it was dark out, and the guy-girl ratio was at least 10-1 but there were still some nice tits out there. Also I would have been the weird guy standing in the corner taking pictures out the window instead of serving customers, but hey, I have my priorities straight.

So the first wave shut down traffic on Burnside for a good twenty minutes, (cars were backing up to take alternate routes), then a bunch of them came back around for a second pass, this was around 12:00. I got off at 1:00 and there were still small groups of them biking around naked. I waited at my bus stop, where this drunk bum was standing, and a group of riders with several good-looking chicks had to stop in front of me for a red light (cops everywhere btw). The bum starts shouting at the naked riders, and they say "get naked, man!" And he says "I dont have a bike" And one of the chicks says "You don't need a bike to get naked", and the bum whipped out his dick and they all cheered. It was kind of gross and hilarious at the same time.

But the best part was later, seeing all these girls riding bikes and wearing disheveled clothes, like it was obvious they'd hastily put them back on. That was just kind of hot, because they knew as well as I did that everyone had just seen them naked, but since they had gotten dressed they seemed more embarrassed to be ogled. They were in a weird place, no longer naked yet not quite clothed either. I got back to the eastside, across the river, at 1:45 and there were still naked and half-clothed cyclists roaming around.

This was the fourth year I've witnessed the naked ride in Portland (working at a bar that closes late at night helps), and was easily the biggest turnout yet. I never bring a camera because A) I'm at work, and B) the number of dicks outweighs the number of tits. Naked guys on skateboards = :(

All fpr tonight, I'll post more tomorrow

Anyone got pics from last night's Chicago ride yet? There's a video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0djFRehZ0A

Thanks. It's too bad so many of the women wear bottoms.

Thanks
 

Thanks, Lets keep this going

more like 3:1. Maybe 4:1. the pics I've seen so far bear that out.

This ride was possibly the biggest naked bike ride in the history of mankind. :) It took 20-30 minutes just to get it rolling at the start, meaning the last riders left a full 20-30 minutes after the first riders. Everyone rode out to the accompianment of a drum corp and a guy with a whistle who acted like a drum major. Future rides might need bullhorns and walkie talkies to coordinate.

Under 25 naked babes were everywhere, literally rubbing shoulders with each other, guys, spectators, everyone. Spencer Tunick would have been proud to attend and photograph this monstrous assemblage of flesh. And after the ride ended, a pretty good number of these babes walked right into the dance party without so much as putting on a sock.

As the riders returned, one fully naked babe was offering free hugs to other riders. This means, next year I RIDE!

Now as for the photography - many riders had small cameras with them, but if you were on the sidelines with a big camera, you were not very welcome at the ride. I have learned this two years in a row. So I only have a very small number of pics which I will post soon. What I heard, actually, was that along Burnside avenue, the group of riders was so massive that they pretty much were ground to a halt. That made them sitting ducks for sidewalk photogs and flash users too. I suspect that many internet pics you will see will have been taken along Burnside.

And although this year the police acted as escorts and were very friendly, I do wonder what will happen if this ride continues to grow. I don't really think it could get much bigger without starting to cause some problems (a la Bay to Breakers). And some women expressed discomfort at the scene along Burnside Ave, near where the drunks and homeless hang out, and where supposedly backsides were getting slapped by unruly spectators.

but all in all, wow! - I mean, last night I confess i had a little trouble sleeping, despite the late hour. You tend to replay these things over and over in your head....:)

EDIT: there are a good number of Flickr pics now up from Portland. This one below will give you an idea of the crowd assembled at the start. Shown here is probably about 1/5 or less of the total number.

Unfortunately, I'm doubtful that Chicago will yield as many amazing pics as last year. The temperature was in the 50's (fahrenheit) in Chicago last night and for your Europeans that's more like October or November weather than summertime. I would have to imagine that cut their size down immensely (if you recall last year because they had a method for counting their riders they were officially the largest in the US). Also, I checked their website and among other things they were suggesting riders bring clothes in backpacks in case they got too cold during the ride. They also said they were going to shorten the ride and shorten the pre-ride painting session, which if you recall is where a lot of the pics came from.

That said, assuming they follow the same policies as last year, they're probably the only ride to utilize official photographers, who are authorized to take pics of naked people before, during and after the ride and put them on the internet for the sake of publicity (most of the photos that ended up on here were from those photographers). Most of the pics that made it to OCC were from these guys. So we can be sure that whatever nudity there was, we'll see it.

So, I'm going to post all my non-UK finds here, and post my UK finds in the other thread. I'm going to start off with a few random pics by so far under-represented rides.

First, off, a couple pics from San Francisco. SF pics have always been disappointing. It's usually a smaller ride with few if any women. Nice to see they got at least one looker this year.

The next two are from Chicago. Not great pics in any sense, but it's a decent indication that at least there was some nudity this year despite the cold. The ride looks a lot less dense than last year, but that's what one would expect with the weather. Still, it's only two phots and we'll have to wait and see until more come in.

The fifth pic is from Mexico City.

This group of pics is from Saragossa, Spain. This looks like a great ride. As you can see, all the girls are fully nude (Pedro would be proud). Incidentally if you want to look for more the search terms are ciclonudista Zaragoza. I doubt the english terms would get you very far.

Here's a batch of Portland pics. As Klondike said, lots of younger attractive fully nude females. With the weather issues in Chicago, it looks like Portland will win the U.S. derby.

I'm a huge fan of the outfit in the 6th pic. I think WNBR should institute a rule that if women don't want to go fully nude at least they have dress sexy like this.

More from Portland.

More Portland. The 5th girl might be my favorite of Portland so far.

bravo!
 

Thanks guys! Keep them coming!

So i'm gathering this is the reason it's not held during the day..> traffic chaos ??
if so, couldn't it be held a little out where it interferes less ?


great pics guys :)

finally we have some excellent, individual rider pics from Portland. This ride has suffered from a lack of documentation in previous years, but so far, 2009 appears to be well photographed. I suspect that today the ride is the talk of the town. Portland is still relatively small, and an event of this magnitude (and hotness :)) will probably be chewed over for at least a week or two...

thanks, Flanker7 -

three more pics I took at the Portland day ride. KLondike

no, they never anticipated the rides would be so big that they would cause traffic chaos. Its held at night because riders prefer (especially the young ones, anyway) the added privacy. Also, the dance and party are held at the same time and place.

KLondike

I love some of those night shots, but I still think the UK has the edge in sheer number (at least in daylight), luckily Brighton (and to lesser exstent London) had the best weather for the past two weeks in he UK (70F and sunny), Manchester actually got :confused:, for the first time in 3 years! Someone made a complaint about nude men being seen by children! Perhaps these people who complained should not take a vacation in Brighton, with a ride of 700 plus!

The estimate from Portland was 5000 riders..! Ok, I know its at night, but good portions of the ride were well lit by streetlights, and that helped to make it just about as exciting as if it were held in daylight, especially if you were viewing at close range (try inches....the main benefit of so many riders may be the packing density you can acheive!!)

The pics from Brighton so far are everything that I expected, Pedro, given your heads up about the recruitment, etc.
I'm really looking forward to seeing your pics and report!

Klondike

I didn't see where this pic from SF had been posted yet. Its a good one...

Klondike

for what its worth, here are a few of my snaps from the Portland night ride. It was all flashless photography.....the best I could do under the circumstances.

These are as is. I didn't try brightening them or anything in Photoshop. give it a whack if you are so inclined.

the girls in the fifth pic were dancing. I love it when this type of thing happens spur of the moment....

KLondike

These are great pics. Also, I'm sure Photoshop could make them even better. I just used the "auto correct" function in MS Office Picture Manager and it did this:

Here are some Chicago pics. As with last year, the painting party was well documented, but it's not anywhere as awesome as last year. As you can tell, the crowd is a lot smaller, fewer people are getting naked and people aren't partying as much--all probably attributable to the cold weather.

Still any painting party pics are good painting party pics.

The girl in pic #7 is gorgeous. Hopefully we'll get a better view when more pics come in.

If you want an idea of how cold it is, check out what the blonde girl is smuggling underneath her sweather in Pic 8. :D

A few more of the Chicago painting party.

Here are the last few of the painting party, then a couple of the ride, of which there still aren't many decent photos.

The 4th pic here fall into the same category as a photo I commented on in the Portland ride. There should be a rule that if a girl isn't going to go fully nude she should at least make it sexy. I love the cutout look. :)

A mixed bag of North American photos.

Pics 1-2 are from San Francisco.

Pics 3-4 are from Mexico (Mexico City I believe).

Pics 5-6 are from Vancouver. The thumbnails don't look like much, but there's some nice nudity when you full size them, since they're such huge photos. That's one of the weird things about photohunting now. When you're scanning flickr it's hard to tell how good a photo could be when it's full size. Sometimes what looks like just a bunch of small bodies in the background take up your full screen once you englarge them.
