It's on this weekend in London - don't say you weren't warned!

I love the advice for safety reasons it's recommended that everyone wears shoes grin

Bare as you dare

LauraNorderr Thu 09-Jun-22 09:34:15

Oh my word! I don’t even want to imagine the ‘Chub Rub’. I do hope the Prime Minister isn’t participating.

Farzanah Thu 09-Jun-22 10:12:08

Great fun…….but in the pic some are definitely clothed with more than shoes ?

henetha Thu 09-Jun-22 10:14:10

I don't want to frighten the horses!

Likewise.
Hope it keeps warm for them and they don’t get frozen extremities!

Callistemon21 Thu 09-Jun-22 10:48:22

It's a bit chilly for June!

Not for me, I'm afraid.
But happy to nominate Mr. I if you want to make a team?

Yammy Thu 09-Jun-22 11:02:25

I don't think I could ride a bike these days never mind bare all on one Imagine the chafing is it being promoted by a lubricant firm?grin

Kandinsky Thu 09-Jun-22 11:02:53

I saw it once in Victoria years ago.
The sight still gives me nightmares.
All wrinkly old men or fat women.

henetha Thu 09-Jun-22 11:13:23

Perhaps if I could use an electric bike, and just keep my knickers on, Gongoozler grin

Aepgirl Thu 09-Jun-22 11:20:19

Could they sink any lower? If they want o be naked, do it in the privacy of their own homes,

Mine Thu 09-Jun-22 11:31:10

Ooooo....No thanks...Be too painful..

Stephania1954 Thu 09-Jun-22 11:37:13

Just been reading about a naked zoo visit coming up where I live and I am very tempted. I think the bike ride would be fun

Pippa22 Thu 09-Jun-22 11:45:03

This is nothing new, it happens every year through the streets of Brighton in broad daylight. Can’t see the point of it but it does draw large numbers of mainly naked exhibitionists and also voyeurs.
It’s not funny, but unpleasant I think.

AreWeThereYet Thu 09-Jun-22 11:54:48

I think if I and many of my friends joined in it would soon see the end of any naked bike rides ??

Perhaps that's the answer to all these naked outings...

Daisend1 Thu 09-Jun-22 11:57:26

Thanks but no thanks.This event I for one will avoid.blush

Glorianny Thu 09-Jun-22 11:58:38

Tell them to bring it up North. The cold will soon sort them out! Although on a Saturday night in Newcastle some of the girls are almost there!

Yammy Thu 09-Jun-22 12:01:00

Some daft bat got hundreds to bare all and be painted blue and photographed in Hull. I think it was when they were the city of "culture." Thank goodness they were painted but imagine trying to go home on the park and ride like that.hmm

Robin49 Thu 09-Jun-22 12:01:07

Good grief yuk!! ?

PollyDolly Thu 09-Jun-22 12:02:15

We were in Toronto five years ago today and saw dozens of naked cyclists riding through the city. At first glance we thought they were all wearing skin coloured cycling gear, but no, all completely starkers.......the received rapturous applause from the crowds too.

My city took part in the World Naked Bike Ride a few weeks ago. I didn’t hear about in beforehand and it was a shock to drive past a load and naked wobbly bums!!
