The topless only riders from Brighton, caught skinny dipping. I just missed this, as some people (including this snapper) blocked my view, I forgive him now though. Check out some of the best shots so far this year of London and Brighton and they are all saveable.

Thanks for the upload Fango. Unfortunately the account which posted the first vid has been closed. Did you manage to save the vids? Im still abroad so was unable to.

They are top quality and there are loads of them as well. Some of his other photosets are worth checking out for anyone into cosplayers

This increasing hostility to snappers is gong to kill WNBR, mark my words. The whole point of the rides is to raise awareness. Think of any big event you care to name - London Marathon, Notting Hill Carnival, Brighton Pride etc - and the thing that helps to promote the events is the proliferation of pictures and vids that appear all over YouTube, Flickr and the like, many of which get many thousands of views.

It was obvious yesterday that several people at least were put off riding in Canterbury as a direct result of that 'no photography' sign in the park. Because it had to apply to everyone, including riders and professionals, or no one. Even though it was nonsense, probably unlawful and certainly not enforceable. At a small gathering like that, it would be a brave person who defied the ban, with cops everywhere, half of whom probably don't know the law regarding photography in public places (worryingly commonplace now).

Thing that always makes me laugh is wmhen naturists (and of course many WNBR riders are) insist their nudity is non-sexual but can't accept that any photographer might genuinely want to cover the event without being overly concerned with bums and bits. And while strongly emphasizing that no one must be naked and on foot (without a bike) during the ride, tell snappers they should be naked if they want to take pictures. So exactly how would that work?

This increasingly antagonistic attitude is going to backfire. The vast majority of pictures that encourage others to ride in subsequent years are taken by amateur snappers. I've had lots of PMs on Flickr, including from several women, who decided to take part after seeing my snaps (and those of others). And the organisers always overlook the fact that a fairly substantial number of riders like to be seen and snapped, for whatever reason.

But the hostility to snappers wouldn't be there if there wasn't a problem with snappers in the first place. There are too many and they are too invasive. There needs to be some etiquette.

Haven't found any photos from this year yet.

Also, I know for a fact that Victoria's (Canada) ride was last Saturday (the 8th). Any stills or video from that yet?
