bike naked

I came across this in my travels a couple of days ago:

world naked bike ride

And yet, as of today, no one's organized a ride for Boston/Cambridge/Somerville etc.

They want to see five people commit to a ride before adding it to their web page.

So....

Who would join me on this if I did it?

If it were a very very short distance and someone else provided the bike I'd think about it. I haven't been on a bicycle at all in more years than I want to think about.

Yikes!

Y'know, my bikes aren't really naked bikes. But I'm a naked person, so I'd give it a shot... except that we're already riding a 400k that day. :)

Good luck! Take pictures! Sell them!

No way I'm riding my bike naked.

Helmet at least. Shoes and gloves are important too.

I really do recommend protecting certain other bits as well. I have future plans for them, after all...

Ouch

Isn't the seat a heck of a lot more uncomfortable when naked?

I'd go riding with you on a naked bike any day. I might have to reconsider if they changed their slogan, though.



hmmm

"Naked Bicycle People Power"? Sounds to me like the bicycle needs to be naked, not the people.

Biking naked sounds really unpleasant. Maybe a towel over to the seat would help.

While the thought of you naked is always delightful, I would be a bit worried for the safety of all those lovely freckles were you to, oh, fall off the bike.

unclear headlines or other slogans

...no way am I riding a bicycle without a helmet and a good sports bra, thank you very much. And lots and lots of sunscreen.

Obviously these people ride recumbents. (I'd still wear a helmet and shoes.)

Seriously! There's no way I'm biking without either my helmet OR my shoes.

"mostly naked people, not counting shoes, helmets, gloves, and something between my tender tush and that rough gnarly seat, but other than that, yes, naked"
