A buffless day to help promote cycling...

HA HA HA!!!

I've never tried it, but DH has: we have an 8x10 photo of DH on his mountain bike, wearing only shoes and a helmet. He rode around his college campus, and a friend took a couple of pictures. Campus Security chased him around on foot, yelling "Sir! Sir! Wait! This is unacceptable behavior!"

I love the expressions when guests see the photo for the first time!

I'm going to venture a guess and say your DH didn't go to college in the US? "Sir! Sir! Wait! This is unacceptable behavior!" is way more polite than most of the campus police officers I know.

"Sir! Sir!" ???

Reminds me of what I've been told is the Norwegian military's regulation for how to act when about to fall off a bike: "Shout 3 times "I'm falling! and fall in a controlled manner towards your left." No kidding.

Apart from that I can hardly imagine a sport or activity I'd rather not do naked than riding a bicycle

Yeah, sitting on the bike seat naked kinda gross me out. Wasn't that a Seinfeld episode? One of his girlfriend's likes to walk around naked and it skeeved him out, then she goes at sits on his new bike and he freaks out...

I have not taken part, but each year on the Summer Solstice there is a naked ride around the Fremont neighborhood here in Seattle. Some folks do opt for body paint...

A few years ago, there was a group of young kids (at least to me, they were young college age) that decided for a lark they would go ride in the buff in mass at night here in rural Arizona. They did, they got caught and were fined for indecent behavior (I think that was the offense). However, one of the boys must have had another similar type offense (not a molestation) and now he is on the sex offenders list. So, he can never work with children, if he moves into a neighborhood, they have to tell the neighbors, etc.

So, beware of cycling in the buff in the United States - it may backfire on you.
