Naked Bicycle People Power!

On Thursday this week we were encouraged to ‘celebrate the collective power of women past, present and future’ on International Women’s Day - something I was more than happy to do!

But as yet I've heard little enthusiasm for today's 'commemorative campaign' - the World Naked Bike Ride! Yep, today across the world we are invited to 'experience the naked joy of the worlds largest naked protest'.

So, in the same way that Christians and churches around the world enthusistically participate in celebrating the role and contribution of women, I'm keen to know how many off us will, in solidarity, strip-off and join the 'protest against oil dependency and car culture in the history of humanity.' After all, as the accompanying web-site declares isn't it 'time to stop indecent exposure to automobile emissions and to celebrate the power and individuality of our bodies!'

BTW: if you're concerned that March is a little chilly for such protestations I'm reliably informed there are two more dates planned for June!

Naked people on bicycles...world naked bike ride...naked bicycle people power...

I understand the bicycle...but why naked...of course really in summer we should ask the question - why are we clothed?...apart from shielding us from UV rays and nettles...but why specifically to be on bicycles...ok i understand it means trouser legs won't get caught in the chain...however I see in the picture that they aren't quite naked - I can see some trainers and socks!

I think they're sandals and socks. Perhaps a protest against the chains of fashion that have hindered naked cyclists for too long.
