It's short notice, but I thought this was cool so I figured I'd make a post telling people about it. Apparently, there's an organization of naked bike rides in various cities around the world. The basic idea is to demonstrate natural means of energy and transportation, but aside for that it seems like it'd just be fun anyways :P

The bike ride is on June 12 and in many different places:

Canada : Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, & Victoria

European Union: Belgique/Belgie (Belgium) | Deutschland (Germany) : Pforzheim | España (Spain) Rides organized by Manifestación Ciclonudista for June 19th : Barcelona, Pamplona, Zargoza | Nederland (Netherlands) : Apeldoorn | United Kingdom : England : London ; Scotland : Edinburgh

New Zealand : Golden Bay

United States : Asheville, NC; Austin, TX; Bellingham, WA (June 19); Berkeley, CA (during June 11 Critical Mass); Boulder, CO; Chicago, IL; Los Angeles, CA; Olympia, WA; Portland, OR; San Francisco, CA; Seattle, WA

Anyhoo, just thought I'd tell people about it cause I figure some people at TFP might be interested in something like this. Be it for political reasons or simply the experience.

uh, I'd either get sunburned or freeze my ass off, and it doesn't sound very comfortable ... hmm

I may go and spectate though :) thanks

sounds painful, certain parts of the body can get enough irritation as it is when they are covered.

Man, how did I know Asheville NC was gonna be on there...

Somehow it only seems natural that Boulder, CO is on there.

Doubtful! People here at TFP have class, maturity, intelligence and sophistication. There is no way....NO WAY someone here would act with such unscrupulous behavior!!!!!!!

Damn, I'll be in Durango that weekend, but I'll let all my cyclist buddies know! Thanks SecretMethod70.

Haha, Olympia, WA; Seattle, WA; Portland, OR... GO NW NAKED PEOPLES!

Count me out. My ass would hurt like crazy. Especially on one of my all day rides. Hell, I've been thinking of getting cycling shorts and wearing them under my regular shorts just for the padding.

Sorry to bust your bubble of joy people

Call them "standards," "sport standards," "naked bikes" or whatever, the most versatile bikes on the road are the most basic. With the right accessories, the bikes that I still call standards can fill many roles, from a weekend ride on the local track to a ride across the country.
/me walks away grinning in an evil sort of way... :D
