World Naked Bike Ride

Just got home from the bike ride in Southampton. It was a bit cold and a few spots of rain but what a great think to do - I will be there next year!!

I did one for the first time the other week-end in Exeter. It was the first one for Exter as well as for me. The weather was much the same and the buzz was fantastic. Great support from the police and public. Great fun for a great cause.

WNBR has more to do with exhibitionism then with Naturism.

Yes, unless you've publicized the event to be anti-oil the reason it was originally created.

But it is still fun nonetheless and tends to attract younger people, something that the traditional naturist clubs are struggling to do.

wouldn't it be great if you didn't need a reason or cause and it was perfectlylegal to ride your bicycle down the rode nude.

It really bothers me the number of people who love to denigrade the event. "It doesn't fit my idea of nudism", "It's just a bunch of exhibitionists.", "It doesn't do a thing to improve our lives." WHATEVER! Why can't people just let others do what they like if they are not harming or offending others? Isn't that what nudists want from the rest of society??? POSITIVE ASPECTS INCLUDE: Pointing out that basic nudity is neither harmful, offensive or illegal, Showing that odd people are not necessarily dangerous, having a wild, weird time whether partaking or just viewing, Pointing out that nudity is FUN, pointing out that streets are ok for bikes too, bringing people together, etc.
Why must some always point out any negative aspect they can find? So WHAT if it takes some exhibitionistic types to make it happen? It's not like they're flaunting hard-ons or flashing. Nothing is inherently wrong with wanting to be seen. Let them have their fun. Let them laugh and smile and wave and be nude and maybe even make a bit of a point for car dominated culture and our slavery to petroleum. Geez.

Yeah Canoodler! Me too!! sick of it! I think the WNBR is a great idea....if everyone rode with clothes on...no one would pay attention..Put a bunch of naked painted mutants on bikes...and the world pays attention!! Next year...I'm gonna be 1. Peace!!
