Never mind boobs on bikes - it was a bra on a scooter for Rachel Guthrie during a fun ride to raise money for breast cancer awareness.

Wellington members of the Women's International Motorcycling Association cruised around the city's bays yesterday to raise money for the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation's annual appeal.

The fun ride drew 107 bikers and raised almost $2000 for breast cancer awareness.

A recent sponsored ride to Napier had raised another $2860, organiser Carol Spaulding said.

The association's Wellington sector had about 30 members, including three men.

"It was great how some of the blokes were happy to dress up in pink."

About 2400 women and 20 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in New Zealand, and about 600 women die from the disease each year.
