[divingbiker]

How many of you are going to be participating in this event (http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org/)? :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Tri Girl]

:eek: ooohhhhhhkaaaaaayyyy... don't think I'll be there for that...think I'll skip that organized ride.
Can you imagine the chaffing in all kinds of obnoxious places... not to mention getting arrested naked. What would they do to my precious bike???

just weird...

[7rider]

You first! :p

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

I think it's way COOL! :p

[Zen]

I don't think i have time to lose enough weight.
Dammit. Maybe next year. I like naked.

[Mr. Bloom]

I think it's way COOL! :p

Particularly with the cold front that just went through here!:p :p

[crazycanuck]

It might be a bit chilly on the top bits though..:eek: brrrrrr

Even if i did do it, i couldn't post a pic..! Pooey..

Ian might like it..Ooops..TMI

Really and truly?

No thanks...

Reminds me of something my partner saw last summer as he was cycling home past the river.

A guy bikes out from one of the tracks wearing nothing but a white helmet...

He saw him again a couple of months ago at a bike-awareness ride we were at. The weird thing is that the woman he was with is one of my students! Small world huh?

The impression I get from reading Cycling+UK magazine is that events like this are a fairly frequent ocurrence over in the UK. Not so stuffy, those Brits, huh?

All modesty aside, I agree with Tri Girl. The potential for painful chafing just wouldn't be worth it. ;)

[singletrackmind]

No way! Not only the discomfort but one pot-hole and I'd prolly get knocked out! :eek:













But other than that whole danger from and to the bits thing, hmmm......

[Python]

Well, we've got the Naked Rambler who's always getting arrested for wearing nothing but a rucksack:eek:

Somehow I think I'll definitely be giving this event a miss.

[HillSlugger]

We've even got a local event! Too bad I'll be out of town for my diabetes ride :(

I never ride during Sabbath!

[Jenn]

Wow, now I've seen it ALL.....literally!!!;)

[Kalidurga]

Well, the World Naked Bike Ride made headlines: CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/06/09/cyclists.naked.reut/index.html?eref=rss_topstories). No mention of the DC version in local news, though.

[surgtech1956]

Not me - no way. I am afraid to ride and be seen in cycling shorts. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Python]

Over here in the UK it's very tempting to cast off every stitch of clothing as we're having a glorious day...but somehow I think I'll give it a miss:p

[Dianyla]

Damn, this ride always falls on the very weekend before Finals for me. :(

Last year my sweetie and I (he was not quite yet my sweetie) were at a 24 hour cafe studying our butts off (and falling madly in love) when suddenly the entire cafe emptied out as everyone ran out onto the sidewalk hooting and hollering at the nekkid people riding by. This year, we were studying our butts off in his apartment which is a few blocks from the route. Shortly after midnight, we could hear a raucous chorus of whoops and whistles echoing through the neighborhood.

Someday I have got to make time to do this!! In the meantime, I'll read the local BikePortland WNBR report (http://bikeportland.org/2007/06/10/report-naked-ride-satisfies-despite-premature-pull-out/) and live vicariously through it. :D
