Great pictures
Very impressed with the guy on the recumbent trike. I was warned against riding my 'bent on the WNBR as I was told I might whistle when I got up to speed...
Regulator - the WNBR is a celebration of body freedom and a protest against body fascism. That means that we revel in all shapes and sizes of body and we reject the media norm of skinny = beautiful. Whatever shape and size you are, you should come on the WNBR to show people that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL and that you love your body.
I'm no model - I've got a funny shaped arse, flabby arms and a saggy cat's underbelly that won't shift no matter how much cycling I do.
But I love my body. It's got me round all sorts of audaxes and looked after me in times when I needed it to. One or two people have even told me that they think it's alright and that they like it.
I bet Mr R is a fan of your bod, am I right?
So stop prevaricating, get yourself down to Hyde Park and come and join in. I guarantee it'll do more for your self confidence and self image than you thought possible. I actually lost weight after the last one because I felt so good about myself.
The funniest thing about last year was Liz's flatmate. He was a little apprehensive of revealing his manhood to the world (odd really as I'm told he's a bit of a filthy slut...) and was anxious to point out that there are two types of fellas, "show-ers" and "growers". Apparently, he was in the latter category.
Like Liz and I wanted to know!
