World Naked Bike Ride - will you be participating?

Ooohhhh no, won’t be taking part. Wouldn’t want to give onlookers nightmares at the sight of my stretch marks, cellulite and spare tyre ???

I suppose that this is another WOKE idea.

Rather think my rear view on a saddle would look a bit like one of those wide loads that overhang the lorry and I would need an abnormal load escort with flashing lights etc …. Sorry for that image!

Sadly no. I can't ride a bike. But if I could........

That is what we call, enjoyment, though I myself wouldn’t do it.

I would not dream of taking part. Although as I habitually ride a cargo bike anyone looking at me from the front would not see all that much.

I have no objection to people being naked if they want, as long as they keep to nudist camps and beaches.

Why on earth should the rest of us have to look at them?

Thought there were decency laws? Not so much for the nakedness, but for the aesthetic assault on my vision!

I think I’d be worried about getting my old sagging boobs caught in the spokes

Those narrow seats ?

I've done some World Naked Bike Rides in the past and hope to go again. For hygiene purposes I put something on the seat that I can take off and wash after.

DH and I have joined a few naturist walking groups as well. Absolutely fantastic - feeling fresh air and freedom.

We have this in Brighton every year. I remember last year there were complaints about some of the riders using the community bikes.. People saying they didn't want to use a bike that had had a bare ar*e on it before .

Owwww. Too painful

Why do they do it? Just WHY?

As a regular cyclist who always wears well-padded trousers, I would never dream of riding naked. The pain would be horrendous.

This happens in San Francisco every year. I am most definitely NOT a prude, but this is something I would not want to see. What is the point of it, apart from the obvious reason to shock?

NOOOOOO!

Imagine the chafing yuck

How marvellous, riding along with the wind in your hair ...

If you are. driving, these people distract you, and you have a bump what would you put on the insurance claim? Distracted by bare cyclists?

Why do they do it? Just WHY?

... thank you GSM. I was just going to say the same... why?

I can understand someone wanting to sunbathe naked in the privacy of their own garden, or on a naturist beach, or run among the sand dunes, etc... but why do they want to cycle around like that?

And, erm, the 'hygiene' issue? I saw a video of people going into restaurants naked (they all were tho') and carefully placing a towel on the seat first. Why not just wear a pair of light textured, loose-fitting shorts?

My spare tyre would come in handy if I got a puncture.

I don't understand the why, try as I might. Freedom? From what? I've never had a problem with my clothes. I like the feel of swimming in the sea but never felt the need to take my clothes off. It doesn't bother me in the least if that's what people want to do. I just don't understand all this business of being free.

That's what I don't get.
If you have to go to the pfaff of carrying a towel round with you everywhere and having to carefully place it on the seat. Why on earth don't these idiots just wear some pants? It would be easier.
Why do you need to feel 'free' when eating a meal? It's ridiculous.
I can understand someone liking the feel of water on bare skin or sunbathing naked. Have done a fair bit of skinnydipping and nude sunbathing myself in the past.
But anything else is just plain exhibitionism and frankly its usually unpleasant to look at.
What on earth makes you think that people want to see your saggy wrinkly droopy bits, when they're just going about their day?

One word, ‘why?’
