I hated London. Complete opposite of the entirely positive and completely fantastic Brighton ride. But then I guess it summed up the difference between the soulless capital, where everyone is selfish and you could die in the street and people walk over you, and Brighton, where everyone is made welcome and the community spirit is wonderful.

thanks for the insights and once again, for the photos...
Hearing about London this year makes me worry a bit about the future of that ride. This is on top of the depressing news from NYC. These are both "world cities". They call it the WORLD naked bike ride, but I think it is going to be a long time before it can truly be considered to be a worldwide success.. I can take heart in the photos from Mexico City, where I would not expect a good ride. Otherwise, leadership from London and NYC would really help in this effort. London has done its part. NYC? - ugh.....
