Went to the Royal Academy summer exhibition today - I left before dh, so he missed what must have been a couple of hundred nude cyclists - nearly all male - cycling merrily down Piccadilly! 😂

Dear God in heaven.
Why??

We have herds of cattle, swarms of bees what would we call a large group of men in the nude? Maybe a" Chauvanist".

Why , why, why? Exercising their rights I suppose. The world has gone mad !

That wasn't my first thought, but I don't want to offend

A load of exhibitionists.
When was being naked in public not an offence? Maybe never was, but cops would remove anyone pdq in the near past.

Isn’t this an annual event? Sure I’ve seen it mentioned before.

Exercising more than their rights, I imagine.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean that you should

I was there on Thursday but didn’t see any naked men in Piccadilly. What I did see, although younger son tried to divert my attention, was a beautiful vase depicting gay men taking drugs and getting up to stuff. ‘You don’t need to look at that mum’, he said.

We were on a walking holiday in the Camargue when a rather portly, naked gentleman road past us on a bike. I really didn’t know what to think, it was hot and he wasn’t wearing a hat.

Probably. I’m sure I’ve seen it mentioned before.
At any rate, it was good for a laugh.

I just thought, what’s the collective noun for nude male cyclists?
A dangle!

A posse of Dinosoreasses?

J52 not wearing a hat?! Well really.

You win the prize for the most intriguing thread title. Very clever.
