WNBR 2007- lets talk

[Klondike]

The World Naked Bike Ride is this weekend. Cities that had major rides last year include Chicago, Portland, OR and London. Any others? Vancouver and Victoria, BC have good rides. I covered Seattle last year but this year am going to try and cover Portland. Any pics I get or find will go in this thread.

So heads up, folks. Check out the main WNBR site for rides in your area (google it). Remember, photographs help spread the word about our energy situation, so don't feel guilty if you snap a few. But be polite also. I could give you some other pointers too - naked rides can be tough to cover.

Then when its all over - go to Flickr.com because pics taken by others will start arriving there immediately. I noticed a positive trend in Seattle and maybe other cities as well - and that is the WNBR seems to be inspiring other rides, including a "hemp ride", scheduled to debut later this year - naked of course. And don't forget "Critical Ass", the naked version of "Critical Mass". Thanks to the internet, rides these days franchise quickly as they get more and more exposure. I plan to do my part in the exposure department. Just the right amount - you won't get any overexposed or underexposed pics from me. Heh, heh! thats a little joke. OK....... ON WITH THE PICS (well, wait until after June 10th, anyway).

your bike pic buddy,

Spencer Tunick pic from Amsterdam. What did he do - provide everyone with bikes? Notice the people looking out their windows. I'd be snapping pics like crazy....

thanks, Sal32...

So many rides, and so many OCC members. Do you think we can get some original pics posted here (other than mine)?

I hope so!

Well, with so many venues out there and so many lurkers on here.. i see no reason why not

This is an opportunity for all the lurkers on this site to make a contribution.

Dang...one an hour away but I can't make it. I have previous engagements that I have to attend. ARGH!

[Klondike]

keepin it bumped....

Portland has two rides tomorrow. The nightime one attracts most of the riders and young people, but its expected to rain tomorrow night. That means the daylight ride might get some of those that don't want to get cold and wet...

guess i better cover both...

One year ago today, I ventured to Seattle to cover the 2006 WNBR there. Here are a few pics I took, some never posted, some reposts, to get you pumped for this year....

The race is on. Already, there are 100 pics at Flickr from rides in Europe that have already ended. I hope to have some pics here by evening but its raining here - terrible timing, as the storm just blew in.
