World Naked Bike Ride 2009
Last Friday's naked bike ride was fun, even though the Police stopped us and claimed that no-one had told them that Naked meant we'd have no clothes on. More pictures in the Manchester World Naked Bike Ride set

Naked Bike Ride
Yesterday it was that time again. Time to cycle through town with no clothes on. We got naked a good half hour before setting off, to facilitate others getting slogans and symbols body painted onto them. It wasn't as warm as last year, though the rain held off, so those of us gents who weren't seasoned naturists didn't promote ourselves all that well. (Take me indoors and warm me up and it's a different matter, honest.) However, it's surprising how quickly it feels natural to be unclothed outside.
I put my camera on continuous shooting and just held down the shutter every time I saw something interesting, getting four or five shots. I must have taken in the region of 500 photos. In the process my camera clicked past the 10,000 mark and started all over again at zero. The best of the photos are in the Naked Bike Ride 2008 set. There's also a Naked Bike Ride 2007 set, which provided source material for the Naked Bike Ride paintings I photographed earlier.

Manchester Naked Bike Ride 2007
It's strange how quickly you can get used to standing around in the nude on a city street. We stripped off early so the BBC and local station Channel M could get footage of us for their news programmes, then set about getting body painted. I put my shorts back on for a while, then felt silly about it.
There must be several thousand photos of the ride floating around, because it seemed that every single camera phone on the route was whipped out to get a shot. Canal Street loved us, as did drinkers in the Kro on Oxford Road and various other beer gardens along the way.
G7UK has some video footage, and the Daily Mail has a piece about the Brighton and Hove ride.
Here's my photo set on Flickr, and here are all the photos there labelled "Naked Bike Ride".
