This year's ride in Barcelona was no big deal. That was provably the best chick around...

It would be extremely naive for anyone taking part to think that no one is going to take pictures of them and post them to various places. If you don't want that to happen, don't take part in the ride. The majority of riders are fun people. They take what comes in good spirit. The antipathy towards snappers and the media (without whom, WNBR would cease to exist) is going to kill this event off. Once it's gone, the complainers will wish they'd had a bit less to say.

Regarding the netting, it was a farce. Firstly, the area was never going to be big enough. Secondly, many participants are perfectly happy to be seen getting painted up. I had constant banter with people, and the only person who was really sour was the guy with the extravagant facial hair wearing a miniskirt and tights. What a complete prat - coming out in a public park dressed like that and then complaining that people are taking notice of him

90% of riders are exhibitionists and enjoy (reasonable, restrained) attention. That's the fact of the matter.

Must be where I was going wrong. I am not an exhibitionist. I think I'll stick to the naturist events I can go to where cameras are not allowed. I'm not a prude - believe me if you knew me you'd know that was a true statement - I just get annoyed that so many people have not been asked to have pictures taken and that there is clearly some agitation building between riders and photographers hence I don't want to be involved. Disappointing.

WNBR 2013

[Klondike]

let me take a moment to give a big thanks to all of these great, original pics from you UK snappers (as you call them - i think "snapper" beats "photog" which is the term I tend to use. Also, I am getting more educated in "UK speak" all the time, "whilst" I ever "get my kit off" at these events to snap pics (which BTW may seem devious to some of you, but I dunno, I think a naked "snapper" is less threatening somehow). But if I ever get my kit off at a WNBR (wait - I did once, in 2009) it would probably be all too tempting to go from there and just grab the nearest bike and start pedaling!!

Anyway, I am particularly appreciative of all of the great pics of this girl below, who, if you ever wanted to know what type of girl Klondike really likes, well - she's got what it takes. Bangs. Strawberry blonde hair. Tall. A natural and athletic looking girl. Great smile. fun attitude. It doesn't get much better than that!! It would take a HUGE amount of effort to pull me away from the local Portland ride, but if anyone could do it, SHE COULD!

EDIT: there has been more than the usual amount of talk about "pervy snappers" this year, and so I just want to remind people of what I wrote yesterday. Conrad Schmitt (the original organizer of the whole WNBR thing) WANTS you there with your camera as long as you are respectful. It sounds as though there are still some cops, riders, etc who have not read his book "The World Naked Bike Ride". Hell, if it were me, i'd wear a T-shirt maybe quoting Conrad, or come armed with little cards or something quoting him. Because some still need to be reminded that the purpose of the nudity, in Conrads own words, is to attract media (a.k.a snappers, photogs, etc) attention. Don't abuse your privilege, but if no one showed up to take pics, there would be a heck of a lot of people that would be severely disappointed!!
