I've been chatting to some fellow WNBR riders and they are furious and disappointed that their images are ending up on sites like this as it's not in the spirit of the ride at all. I applaud Brighton for having a fenced off area for riders to get ready.
We probably thought you were joking when your first post sounded so negative - especially for a person that willingly joined a website that promotes (well trumpets) the fact that there are public nudity pictures contained herein. Since this was your first post ever - we'll give you the benefit of the doubt and hope that you enjoy what you see and contribute something yourself in the future.

***Oh - and the others were of course completely right about the fact that the 'N' in the WNBR was always meant to be a way to bring media and public attention to an event that wouldnt get more than 10 cameras or spectators or newstories if the 'N' didnt mean naked. Maybe the new riders are complaining about the publicity because they think the ride is self contained and meant to only benefit the few riders that are able to make it to the events - but that is not the case. The ride was created for publicity and by all accounts - it is highly successful.
