I couldn't believe my eyes when I read this on www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2004/apr04/apr05news2
Will it ever happen?
Will it ever happen?
World's largest naked (cycling) event
- Thread starter hemplands
- Start date
I guess terms like "hard tail," "full suspension," "quick release," "granny gears," etc., take on a whole new meaning huh? LMAO
Seriously....I would bet that many of the people who will ride in this event should never be seen naked - kinda like the people who go to nudist colonies are in serious need of a good workout and a good bike ride.
Ahhhhhhhhh, writing this over again sucks! Good lord what ever next?!?!? There are some places you should be naked and some NOT - NOT being on a bloody bike! There are some positions you don't wanna get into ie. a/bars for instance! Pucker up I would say! Wouldn't there be some really sore parts rubbing around and needing much "glide" stuff before hand!?!? Do you wear your clip-ons (shoes not earings) and are you truelly NAKED if you do??!? Cowboyathlete there is correct in his thinking .. some folks should not be seen in public naked cos it really scares the kids! I am not "a perfect specimen" but close (oh, just joking) - and I feel very comfortable being naked - don't feel I have to do it in public unless they are paying customers! Don't they worry they might fall off when getting a wee bit close to other riders for a look-see and in a tight pack (not if they ain't wearing spandex they ain't)? You can get awfully torn up without the lycra you know!!!
Are my sand box buddies out there? Less'go? Lab-rat? Have you abandoned me .. I am sure this thread will not go amiss with u 2!?!?
Thanks, Susan, now I've got this image in my mind of some guy in a full aero tuck
Quick I need a happier thought.
No wait I've got it, Canucks beating the Avalanche, game 4, Western final
See that is what I mean .. you cannot chose who is gonna be in that tuck position and who is not .. yep, you might need many HAPPY, HAPPY thoughts - maybe lots of waxing as well don't ya think! Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhuhhhhh!

BoomBoom, wind in the hair, lead in the pencil.
Posted this link a month or so back on aus.bicycle and promptly got into trouble (it was duly suggested netnanny be installed on my computer)
Before you cast judgement, have a look at the pics on the link. It's rather artistic and not remotely porno at all. (The "Superman" image is as funny as it is disturbing!!!)
But I cannot envisage the nuddie bike day happening here in June, it's the southern winter. More like thermals, sleeves, fullfingered gloves and overbooties weather.
Right, naked is fine until you're behind someone tucked in, looking right up their... oh, never mind. I have to go wash out my brain, now, so that particular image doesn't get left lying around. Ewwwww!
Personally, I just about prefer tight fitting lycra to nothing at all, at least in public. Leave something to the imagination, and you can always imagine better than reality.

Like I said fellas - there are some things left dressed cos you cannot chose who is naked and who isn't - it is not like some silly ass prono movie where all the girls are beautiful (dudes yuk - yer, where the hell do they find those - not that that is my thing)! Firstly, most folks don't look good naked and secondly they look even worse in a tuck position!!!!!!!!!!! Now I am gonna go wash my mouth out with soap, ten hail Mary's and 20 push-ups! There might not be as much lead in one's pencil as you might think .. more like brewers drooooooop!
LOL .. I think this is all too much for the ole brain .. there are just some images you don't want to consider - do you think it would put you off your stroke seeing something you shouldn't or do you think you could focus and drive right on thu' - attempting to leave behind a bad, bad scene?!?!? Mmmmmmmmmmm somehow I think I will stick to sexy spandex and dream like Johno mentioned above!
I think I would just put the 'pedal to the metal', and be thankful I don't ride with mirrors.
One other thought that came to mine, does the 'largest refer' to the bikes or the people.

No way, Peggy sue, I'm right here, just imagining this naked cycling event. i'm just thinking I'd atleast want one layer of something between me and the saddle, and I'd hate to go into any details, but this naked riding could just be gross for any number of reasons.
I guess the participants won't be passing bikes back and forth. I mean, yikes! And some people are squeamish about sharing toilet seats... This could be very stragne for male and female genitalia alike.
Like you, I've no issues with nakedness and don't mind being seen (whooopeee) in all my splendor ;-), but I don't know if I need to let it all hang out THAT far. Plus I'm not sure how my abs looks when I'm down over the bars. I'm athletic, but I did have two kids you know. Standing up, gentle curves and washboard. Bent over, well, I'm not 17 anymore.
In any case, if it HAS to be, then I atleast hope there will be a casting call first. If not I don't even WANT to see the pictures. Wet Wipes advised for bike swappers. Eeeeeew!

I have to admit I was intrigued and took a look at the website... To answer the above question, I thought the following might interest you:
"What to wear? Do not fear! Go as bare as you dare - wear as much or as little as you wish. PLEASE be creative and colorful!"
Hmmm, colorful, eh? So clip on earings might not be as out-of-line as you think.
