Unhappy Update: Jailed NYC Riders Charged With Indecent Exposure, Lewdness

While waiting for more pictures of the hugely successful ride in London, a "just for the record" update on last night's ride in NYC.

The two riders who were arrested were, reportedly, held in jail overnight and will be charged with indecent exposure and public lewdness.

That' seems likely to be a "nail in the coffin" for the success of future WNBR rides in "The Naked City." ( the title of an old TV police drama about New York)

So, in future, how many mainstream NYC folks are going to risk arrest, jail, and a police record just to ride in the WNBR ??

You guys who have complaints about ride organizers, and volunteers in other cities, be glad you don't live in NYC. A city of more than eight-million, with a ride in the dozens.

Below are a few small snaps from the rainy NYC ride. At least a few females showed up. But, also note the unnecessary antagonistic challenge to police in the group shot. It's like starting a game of chicken, and hoping to provoke a nasty reaction, and they did.

For much more on the story, and more pictures check out this blog:
