BUT.... there were hundreds, maybe over a thousand students - all Chinese - at the start who just crowded round the riders in one big circle (6 or 7 rows deep) and hemmed them all in without any consideration of the riders - all with smartphones and getting in each others way to make sure they were at the front!

Talk about "culture shock" !!!

After looking at some Manchester pictures on Flickr, it dawned that many, or most, of these Chinese students come from the country of the Tiananmen Square massacre, where hundreds of students were gunned down in a demonstration.

And on the 25th anniversary this week, nobody in China was supposed to talk about it. I even saw them cut a BBC report feed from Beijing on the subject.

So, freedom loving Brits can ride their bikes totally nude through the center of a big city demonstrating for their cause, without fear of government thugs gunning them down or locking them up.

When the memories and all those pictures get back to China, they may send a powerful message.

Now let's hope the WNBR riders get great weather in Brighton later today, and London next weekend.

The Level in Brighton was slightly better at keeping the over-enthusiastic snappers back, as the concentration of nudes in a smaller area (but still big!) than the park of previous years. As of this morning, well over 600 people have agreed to attend (with 120 maybe) and the weather is still looking good. The morning is better than the afternoon (more sun) and that is when people decide to attend or not!

The weather in London is currently WET, but I am south of there and it's now sunny and very warm and humid as the rain has moved north, so the afternoon will be OK, I hope.

I've wondered that as well. Due to my laptop dying a few weeks back I'm stuck using an Android tablet for my web browsing. There was a trick on the Windows version of the Opera web browser that allowed you to download "undownloadable" Flickr photos but it doesn't work on the Android version. Any advice anyone?
