Who chooses who should or shouldn't go naked? Is it for your pleasure? I must have missed that memo. I just got back, had a great time, and people loved to see us come by.0

Clothes don't make the obese look any better, IMHO. Anyway, it adds to the shock value of the protest.To err is human, but to make a real balls up takes a super computer.0 -

I don't think it can be classed as an endurance event, so I think you can get by on what you've already eaten. If it is raining, you skin is more waterproof than any of your expensive cycling gear. Just hope it's warmish. Having said that, you could just pedal harder.To err is human, but to make a real balls up takes a super computer.0 -

It's a protest against attitudes and to exhibit the cyclists vulnerability.
I'm sure there will be a few other issues being raised also.

Mostly young people and a really great atmosphere.
If you half considered it but bottled out, I would recommend it for next year!
Had I known someone I knew was doing it I may have gone ahead - yes I wussed out and even forgot to go watch
Next year....0 -

Bristol was AWESOME yesterday, absolutely fantastic day with perfect weather and a really nice atmosphere.
The most wonderful moment though was when the ride came up to two shaven legged roadies at a set of lights - they looked over their shoulders and took off at full speed in absolute horror at being associated with us.
And then I scalped them! On my singlespeed, buck naked with a flagpole sticking up from my seatpost - sheer perfection.FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits

Said roadies have now thrown their bikes off the suspension Bridge in shame. Good work sir!1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Were you on the single speed with the orange decorations? You cut back into the main peleton around the colston hall?
If so, i'd have raised my cap to you, sir, but I was not wearing one0 -

Is "flagpole" a euphamism for something else? If so I'm sure the roadies really appreciated being chased down by a bloke with his flagpole" up...Do not write below this line. Office use only.0 -
A clever trick to strap that to the seatpost and still ride :shock:1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)
