Naked Bike Ride

The unsuspecting bike rider on the right was rather stunned to suddenly find himself surrounded by naked riders.
Cars were stopped as hundreds of riders taking part in the world naked bike ride cycled over Westminster Bridge on Saturday afternoon.

  1. What a funny but economic idea. Look the BP disaster and the adverse effects for the nature, for all of us! I salute the naked persons for their courage. Bravo!

    I think this is great and the way God meant people to be. Lots of long beards, and on older gentlemen, the privates would even be covered. As it is, with clothes, we are left to our imaginations as to how old men look and how old women look. Thank God for naked people.

  5. Was it Betjeman who said “I think that I should like
    To be the saddle of a bike.”?

  12. Now that is something you do not see every day.

  13. That has to be one of the most effective methods of demonstration ever thought up! I wish they would do that here instead of climbing up the bridges and blocking traffic! At least of you stop driving to look at naked people you're voluntarily stopped!

  22. Wondering if the clothed bicyclist on the right crashed; he's not watching the road. LOL

  23. That's a butt ugly butt! (sorry, this is the only time ever I would get to use that phrase). What a hoot. Now, I gotta catch up with the rider in front...and plan to take my bike out for a spin with CLOTHING. ;)

  24. It takes all kinds. In Barcelona a couple of weeks ago there was a guy talking to a film crew when we entered one of the little squares, butt naked and suntanned. It seems he spends all day cycling naked around the city. Whatever floats your boat.

  25. Well, 30 comments, naked sells! (Tabloids have known this for a long time)

    I wonder if the world naked bike ride took place in France too. Somehow it doesn't seem like a very French thing to do - to me that's typical of British eccentricity. Love it!
