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...

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?
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

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.

No way! Not only the discomfort but one pot-hole and I'd prolly get knocked out!
But other than that whole danger from and to the bits thing, hmmm......Last edited by singletrackmind; 06-05-2007 at 05:33 AM.
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

Well, we've got the Naked Rambler who's always getting arrested for wearing nothing but a rucksack
Somehow I think I'll definitely be giving this event a miss.There are a lot of unwanted, unloved bikes out there - go on give a bike a good home

We've even got a local event! Too bad I'll be out of town for my diabetes ride
Date: Saturday 9 June 2007
Time: 9am meet, 10am ride
Location: McPherson Square, Washington, DC
(Tentative information – check website for details)
[Edit] Information
We are holding the second WNBR in DC, June 9th 2007.
Last year went very well and we again have all the required permits!
Meet at McPherson Square, convenient to the Metro, between 9:00 am and 10:00 am.
We will be riding past the Capital Building and the White House! Will have body painting in a screened off area and snacks.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Well, the World Naked Bike Ride made headlines: CNN.com. No mention of the DC version in local news, though.
