WNBR 2018

[JammyS]

OK, I'm losing track of watermarks. I recall that there is a good 'nude ride' poster out there, but this is very much not that.

However they are very prolific, in an odd way. There are galleries from most UK rides & more, from 2017 & 18, but a blind epileptic might have fared better. Brighton 2018, for example, includes 24 albums of anywhere between 36 and 238 photos. They are focussed on female riders and so may be of interest to completists- eg the coverage of Manchester this year has otherwise seemed a bit patchy. If anyone does do a thorough review, I'd be grateful for a 'best of' zip package.

Nothing groundbreaking but a few decent ones.

any pics of her? please.

I can't see myself ever covering the Brighton ride again. A good few of what might be described as serious snappers gave it a miss this year because of the relentless paranoia. The obvious result was that there were significantly fewer decent quality sets knocking about. Despite the pretty good turnout down there, many of this years pictures show riders looking tense and not very happy. Compare that to the glorious 2014 ride. It's worth noting that in 2014 there was very little marshal intervention once the ride left The Level. Without draconian feminazis telling people what they should and shouldn't be doing, everyone relaxed, danced in the fountain, danced on Hove Lawns and whooped it up on the beach and generally had a fantastic time. 2016 and particularly last year, it just wasn't fun any more. I want to snap people enjoying themselves, not have a constant battle with ill informed idiots.

I considered it very telling that Ben Thomas, who accompanied Lucy Muse and filmed the documentary coverage of the London and Brighton rides this year, mentioned that it was the organisers that were more of problem than 'the pervs'. And this was despite him being an established film maker and having gained prior permission to cover WNBR Brighton. He's a straight man, was clothed at Brighton and had a camera, so he was going to get stick. He's not doing another one either. And that will be a trend. You'll never deter the pervs, but the people there to document the event will just not bother any more, so there will be less and less quality images/footage out there. The majority of the material will be fifth rate close ups of genitalia, which is hardly going to be a glowing advertisement for the WNBR cause.

Of course there are a few die hard pervs (many of them take part in the ride, as it's much easier to get dubious shots from within the group than from outside it and they can have unrestricted access to the painting area - for example, the notorious Mr Willy Scaffold). A small minority really do make a nuisance of themselves. But IMHO the vast majority of people with 'professional looking' equipment are there to cover the ride as they would any other event. There are numerous opportunities for pervs to snap naked people in any number of settings. I personally have never found anything that happened at a WNBR remotely erotic and remain surprised that there's such an interest in pictures from these events among pervs (no offence to any of the pervs here lol ).

On the up side, WNBR Folkestone was unexpectedly excellent this time. London was decent too, just a shame it took place on the same day as the Tommy Robinson protest. The organisers of non-Brighton rides seem to have things down to a fine art. The obvious pervs are given short shrift and the serious snappers are welcomed, which is the way it should be.

It's been a while since anyone has mentioned all the WNBR photos on Flickr that are semi-hidden because they can't be found by searches, only by joining groups. I'm not attaching full photos, because if they aren't making their photos fully public, they probably don't want them posted here. But check out the London Naked Bike Ride and Brighton Naked Bike Ride pools, especially. There are hundreds of great 2018 pictures (other years, also) that can be found there and nowhere else. You have to join the groups, of course. Some standout photographers that have many or most of their shots only in Groups: NoctielA, pg tips2, bbana (though he focuses on men, he still has hundreds of great shots of women), and Sacha Alleyne. PsP: images' amazing shots aren't only in the groups, but they were uploaded recently and I never saw them in searches, and just found them today. Not sure why. But be sure to check them out, too.

The yearly groups, like flickr.com/groups/brightonnakedbikeride2018/, are always good, but it seems like more of these photographers put most of their pictures in the main groups for the rides, so your best bets are:
flickr.com/groups/brightonnakedbikeride/
flickr.com/groups/londonnakedbikeride (my screenshot is from flickr.com/groups/londonnakedbikeride/pool/page6)
Also worth looking at, though it's huge and I'm not sure how many "exclusive" pictures it has: flickr.com/groups/worldnakedbikeride/
