World Naked Bike Ride - Part 70

 Portland, Oregon 2018

My friend Rick (see his blog Sicko Ricko's Crap) recently made a comment on my blog mentioning the World Naked Bike Ride in Portland, where Rick lives.  I realized that I've never featured the Portland WNBR.  So today, we're entering Portland.

These photos are from the 2018 WNBR in Portland.  Riders gathered in Cathedral Park under the impressive St Johns Bridge that spans the Willamette River.

More riders gathering in the park.

Another rider in the park.  Rick, I know you appreciate rear views, so I've included some for you.

Then the ride began.

The route went uphill, slowing the riders down.

Some local youths at the side of the road taking in the event.

Still going uphill.  Riding the bikes ...

became walking the bikes ...

which became a traffic jam going up the hill.  But they all made it.

We end with some good advice: keep calm and love a dog (note the doggy passenger on the bike).
