Thanks for the warning.

This is one of those times I'm actually glad I don't live in a major city.

ugh... this just reminded me of the proud tall biker in chinatown.

these sort of things just seem like the hipster equivalent of the lame naked quad runs frat boys do in college.

This might be, um, a little obvious, but...

wouldn't that hurt?

Tomorrow night: world bike seat burning.

I didn't want to be the one to bring it up- bike seats aren't particularly comfortable under the best of circumstances.

Yeesh.  Talk about anti-fun, the buncha youse.  Some of the riders who decide to go alltheway naked use a cloth or something. 

I'll have you know that riding a bike as "bare as you dare" with around 1,000 other naked people is exhilarating as heck.  It's a little bit ccreepy, but what better way to get people to notice bicycles??  Yeah, I used to think it was a weird and mildly sucky idea at one time, but NOW I GET IT.

I think this might be one of the few ways to get people to forcibly forget bicycles for a moment. If you put a naked lady on a mailbox, the mailbox isn't going to be the selling point of that image to me. I'd never actually do this myself, but I'd support your right to naked bicycle with my dying breath. I'd then immediately regret wasting my last breath on that.

My Saturday night: I was riding my bike to a bar, fully clothed and helmeted, when a naked woman pulls up next to me on her bike and says, "Let's see your cock." I had not read this thread and didn't know what the fuck was going on, so I mumbled and said "who... why... are.... i just...." until she rode off.

Five minutes later I'm barreling down Halsted when a crowd, lining both sides of the street parada-style, starts demanding to "see my ass" and for me to "lose the clothes, square."

Upon reaching the bar, I got drunker than usual in an attempt to burn the sexual assault from my memory. I'm holding you personally responsible, Dania!
