Piccadilly willies!

Some of these comments have really made me laugh.

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.

Now that was just plain silly of him. How irresponsible to be out in the sun without the protection of a hat....stupid boy!

I understand that being naked in public is not an offence in the UK, but I'd like to know how that is differentiated from indecent exposure, which I am sure IS an offence. Is it just that the latter involves wearing a coat or something?

To me, indecent exposure brings to mind the man who once ran out of undergrowth right in front of me, his open raincoat flapping to display his bits. Not aimed at me, I don’t think - looked more as if he was running away after having flashed at someone else!
Maybe ‘indecent intent’ would be an apt term.

I struggle to see why so many are offended by the naked body.
We all have one.

Agreed.

I hope they wipe the bike seat!

Bet they needed the Aftersun crème.

Maybe they were raising something for charity. 😃

They were. They do it every year for charity.

Hope they put sun factor 50 everywhere!!

Think I've seen it in Brighton at some time. Perhaps they do a tour!

I gather, perhaps wrongly, that these events are well advertised in advance, so if you don't want to see naked men or women cycling, walking or dancing in the streets, just stay away from the area during these events.

Personally, I don't think they will make people regard the human body as something natural by staging these happenings, but that's their outlook.

I have never had any desire to take my clothes off in public, but as long as those who do so are not doing so in order to sexually molest others, I shan't complain.

Am still puzzled by the fact that a large number of people, mainly men by the sound of it can cycle around showing off their bits but if one man was to around the streets in the buff he would surely be arrested.
Claiming to save the planet ( claptrap) can’t be the reason that PC Plod doesn’t feel their collar, or where their collar should be.😄

Not sure which is worse: being behind a sweat streaked, skin tight lycra clad cyclist or being behind a sweat streaked naked cyclist. Neither seems appealing.

It’s an annual vent in Brighton and has been for years. What is amazing is that almost all are overweight and not at all attractive. I wonder why they want to draw attention to themselves. A dangle of cyclists is a good collective noun but in the case of the Brighton maybe a wobble !

it's a fabulous event.. everyone in great spirits often playing musical instruments and using wigs and bodypaint.. good fun

Naked bike rides have been happening nationwide for a few years now.

Well at least they had a lovely day for it 😁
Years ago I was with DD in her car, when driving through a small village we saw a young man cartwheeling in the buff. We decided it must have been a stag do because there were a group of young men egging him on. We had to giggle 😂

Beckettt- surely it’s naked lady cyclists in Bristol!

From the web:

"The World Naked Bike Ride is a global protest movement with rides in cities around the world, raising awareness of issues such as safety of cyclists on the road, reducing oil dependence and saving the planet. Let’s make the planet great again!"

Hope they weren't hired bikes. Yuck.

This is top secret…… I warn you….. we’re all nakid underneath these clothes! They call “us” Textiles!

I’m off to Piccawilly……. I mean Piccadilly …. tomorrow. I always miss the fun!
