The Bicyclist 15: Naked Bike Ride




Steve is like a cat who must first toy with her prey. Conrad is about to be set up and hung out to dry.

Watch for out the hippy in this episode. I got a cameo role as a Naked Bike Ride pimp. Not too much of a stretch, eh?

The Bicyclist is produced by Carl and Sharon Jameson of Craftmaster Independent.

BREAKING NEWS: DA Drops Charges Against RevPhil PLUS Naked Ride Saturday Night!




Click above to Play Tonight's Video

PORTLAND, OR - The DA has dropped the charges against Reverend Phil. RevPhil won't get his day in court but he also won't have to face 2 1/2 years in jail, either.

Just by coincidence, there will be a naked bike ride Saturday night. It will be originating from free geek. I do not know the time yet but will let you know when I find out.

During the 2006 World Naked Bike Ride, RevPhil was arrested after being hit by a mean spirited and drunk driver (according to witness testimony) who's boyfriend happened to be an off-duty cop . Phil was charged with various crimes and misdemeanors while the real criminal was scurried off. Just last week Phil told me "I really want this to go to trial so we can expose what really happened in court."

This matter may never fully be exposed in a court of law, but, to celebrate Naked Justice, you can expose yourself tomorrow on a Pedalpalooza BONUS Naked Bike Ride.

See you tomorrow at the Multnomah County Bike Fair where we'll attempt to webcast live.

PORTLAND, OR - Oregonian's Steve Woodward has hopped aboard today with multi-media coverage
of the WNBR. He's reporting 800 riders.

Riding cheek to cheek Not for naught nor for naughtiness do 800 cyclists
pedal naked, but rather to do the globe some good


Tuesday, June 12, 2007
STEVE WOODWARD
Naked was the fashion Saturday night, and bikes were the luxury vehicle of
choice.
About midnight, with only the glow of streetlights draping them, an
estimated 800 men and women pedaled madly across the Hawthorne Bridge into
downtown Portland, up Northwest 23rd Avenue, down West Burnside and back
into Southeast Portland in what has become an annual Portland tradition: the
World Naked Bike Ride.
Whooping and honking bicycle horns, the riders drew waves, cheers, laughter,
camera flashes and favorable comparisons to Portland's "other" parade that
very morning. Gawkers abandoned drinks and poured out of bars. Teenagers
leaned out of a white stretch limousine to offer riders high-fives.
According to reports from bikers, some spectators even joined the ragtag
parade, shedding clothes and hopping on their own bikes.
What's the occasion? The bare facts: Since 2004, Portland-area bicyclists
have participated in a global event in which riders showing more skin than
not ride in public to protest oil dependency. Their nakedness demonstrates
bicyclists' vulnerability to cars.
Last year, the Portland event drew about 500 "naked" bikers, the largest
such ride in North America, according to organizers.
"Portland is just a very great place," Erin Downs, a 17-year-old Northeast
Portland high-school student, said at the warehouse party after the ride.
"I want to be part of Portland," she said, dressed in blue hair, a blue
kerchief and two studded leather belts slung low. "This is the life, blood
and veins of Portland. If I didn't show up, how could I be a Portlander?"
"I expected more naked people," said Mick Arrell, a 19-year-old Southeast
Portland man with red, blue and green paint smeared randomly across his
chest and arms.
It's true. Many people stripped only as far as their skivvies.
"I didn't strip down at the request of my roommate," explained Jimmy
Schmierbach, 25, of Northeast Portland. "She said she didn't want to look at
my junk."

His roommate returned the favor, riding in her bra and panties.
Although she was wearing frilly orange underwear with blue trim when
interviewed, April ("like the month") Wiza said she was less modest during
the ride.
"All the good parts were showing," said the 27-year-old Southeast Portland
resident.

Wiza also displayed a poetic message for anyone behind her: "LESS GAS MORE
(rhymes with 'gas')." The hand-painted message included an arrow pointing
readers to her (rhymes with "gas").

On the blocked-off street outside the Organics To You warehouse party after
the ride, several men had added ties to their birthday suits. One woman wore
nothing on her chest but a red Superman logo. "Green power," declared a
man's back. One woman dressed provocatively in cheap black lingerie -- cheap
because it was painted on.

Unlike many riders, friends Eric Miller, Kyle Kelley and Robin Jackson were
fully dressed in something other than facial hair: Miller in natty beret;
Kelley in full-on pink-and-maroon ensemble, complete with pink, feathered
skateboarder's helmet; and Jackson in black fedora, dark pinstripes and
red-and-white checkered vest.

Miller launched his ride with a figurative fig leaf or two to preserve his
modesty.

"I started out not all the way," Miller said, "but I was feeling it." And,
apparently, if one is feeling it, there's naught to do but shed the remains
of one's modesty -- even in the middle of the Hawthorne Bridge.

"It's nice to let go," said Jackson, an erstwhile Naked Bike Rider and a
member, with Miller, of Portland's Marchfourth Marching Band.

Actually, Jackson was dressed during the ride, too.

"I was hanging out with my parents," he said sheepishly.

WNBR Coverage on KATU



PORTLAND, OR - For posterity ;) here is Channel Two's video coverage of the World Naked Bike Ride. I like that they got the key talking points in. Unfortunately, they don't show that many riders. There were clearly more than the "dozens" they mentioned based on other reports and videos.

World Naked Bike Ride - London 2005




LONDON, England - Here is a little nakedness to chase away those winter blues. http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/

This video was censored by the prudes at GooTube. But I was lucky enough to find it at Revve.comr who serves much clearer video anyway. It's not pornographic but be warned there are naked people of all kinds. The 2005 Ride in London was promoted as a demonstration against oil dependency. Hundreds of people took part in the World Naked Bike Ride which happens every year in cities all over the world.

See the PDXK.TV version of the 2006 Naked Bike Ride in Portland, Oregon here.

We'll see YOU... naked at '07 WNBR!

Going on a Naked Bike Ride


Portland, Ore. --- Hundreds of cyclists going as bare as they dared swarmed the streets of Portland June 10 for the largest naked bike ride in north America. As many as 500 nude or nearly nude cyclists rode for two and a half hours circling downtown to the cheers and jeers of spectators, motorists, and passersby. This year also marked the debut of Portland's first daytime naked bike ride, which culminated in a group photo shot in the lovely Ladd's Addition rose garden. Warning: This video contains nudity.
