...and as to the note above, can't post examples now - must dash - but there are nice ones at flickr that weren't there a day or two ago if you use the more common spelling for Italy/Spain: ciclonudista...

Long time lurker, first time poster.

Just got back from the Berkeley ride. It was looking pretty weak, but slowly participants started rolling in. There ended up being about a dozen riders with only 2 girls, but they were both very good looking. 1 girl went topless and 1 girl ditched the bottoms right before they left. I was only able to snap a couple photos of the bottomless girl as she rode by, but I think they turned out pretty good.

I didn't move around to snap photos. Instead I just stayed in one spot and zoomed in to not disrupt the riders or draw attention to myself. As a result, I missed a few frontal shots before the girls applied paint. I saw a few other photographers, so I think the chances of some showing up sans paint are good.

Hope you enjoy.

There were some crazy b*tches at the WNBR in Portland.One attacked me and tried to break my camera. I got some minor sc****s,but she lost (and the camera is okay). This was on a PUBLIC street too! WTF?

mmmm......they don't like cameras at the Portland ride. I mean, that sucks what happened, but its not an isolated incidence. Even if you are within your legal right, it might not stop you from being harassed. I have tried to take pics a couple of times and have met with some resistance, so I know. I hope you were able to get a few shots off regardless - maybe that would make the effort and what happened worth the price.

Anyway, I was going to post about the Portland mega-WNBR night ride. Every year, Portland tries to outdo itself and clobber the competition while vying for bragging rights to the worlds largest naked bike ride. And once again, they reigned supreme. I'm not very good at estimating crowds once they get above a few thousand, so I'll wait for others to offer a figure. But it was certainly the largest assemblage of naked flesh I have ever witnessed, and I was at last years ride!

This years ride gathered just east of the Willamette River in a vacant lot. The lot was closed off to non riders, but it didn't seem to really matter that much. Nudes spilled over as they always do into the street, the sidewalk, nearby property - just about anywhere you can squeeze bodies there were bodies. And when the time came to start the ride, a roar like I have never heard before rose from the throng. It sounded like the Roman Colessum or something.
That meant it was time to hunker down and try to avoid getting trampled by thousands of naked people and their bikes as they streamed forward, shouting encouragement to one another while lecturing onlookers to get naked. Once the ride got going, it must have been three quarters of a mile long. Women probably made up close to 50 percent of the bikers, and practically all were twentysomethings. I feel now like I probably have intimate familiarity with about a quarter of the under 30 females that live in Portland's Hawthorne District. I wonder if anyone stayed behind or did roving biker gangs go house to house, dragging everyone reluctant to ride by the hair? It sure seemed like it...

So, yeah - it was great

What a paradox, first you strip in broad daylight and that too in public and then don't expect to be photographed. True hypocrisy.

I also think you can google allsizes but you must have the greasemonkey addon first...

G-R-E-A-T-! Thanks a lot: this I really didn't know (such a versatile browser is Mozilla!).

Just posted a new video link in the Rapidshare area

This is mainly of one of the Spanish Girls arriving at the last stop before the beach.

Also the long legged red head who seems to have missed most of the cameras, only seen her in a couple of places.

the word from the Portland nightime WNBR was......11,000 to 13,000 riders!!! Can you believe it!! Here is an article.

http://bikeportland.org/2010/06/20/a...ked-bike-ride/

As I mentioned earlier, I attended but did not take pics (notoriously difficult and there were lots of volunteers on hand to "help" people put their cameras away. Still, there will be net pics - its not impossible to take them but most will probably be on the road, not at the assembly area (where the volunteers were).

It is hard to contemplate a number like 10,000 naked people! How big was Spencer Tunick's largest photo shoot? Was this the LARGEST ASSEMBLAGE OF NAKED PEOPLE EVER!???

These pics below are unfortunately small, but it will give you a sense. Included also is one pic from the Portland day ride number 2.

a few more pics from Portland. The organizational effort here last night was really impressive. This ride is bigtime - there was local newscasters doing interviews, lots of cops keeping order, loads of volunteers handing out leaflets, hanging signs and controlling the crowds. In the assembly area there was food, dancing, partying.....
