    Anyone going for STW group ride? Might be a bit nippy by Sept 4th but you might get a cracking view from the rear of a tandem.

    Are there any others happening in the UK? I’m a bit tempted to make this a weekend trip to Edinburgh and the Tweed Valley but somewhere closer to home (or that we’ve not been to this summer already) might be fun.

    That’s Sunday Hills IRL ride day, but given the gorse on the route I’m going to stay fully clothed I think.

    Most of these tend to take place in June and July so maybe make a date for next year.

    What is the purpose of these nekkid jaunts around cities?

    If you rode about naked on your own, would you not be arrested ? Seems group nakedness is viewed differently.

    To highlight the vulnerability of cyclists on the road I believe

    And of course an excuse to get your tackle out

    I like to have myself tucked up into my lycra and whenever I sit on bike in garage with loose pyjama bottoms on it feels awful as testicle squashing going on all over the place so imagine it would be similar. So a No from me.

    (I am not even going to think of what it would be like with a saddle with a cut out)

    not necessarily, I think the person who complains about the fact that you’re “tackle out” has to prove that you did so in order to just shock and offend (or something like that)

    But, yeah, I think in practice, you’d be picked up pretty smartish by the cops.

    Yes, the offence isn’t being naked but ‘lewd, obscene or disgusting nature which outrages public decency’.

    That’s possibly the most English-sounding law I’ve ever heard. What a nation of prudes 😀

    Have a little piece I wrote for Bike Magic many, many years ago on the subject of naked bike riding – Bad Ass Biking, oh err missus

    I do a “naked” run every Wednesday.

    In this case it’s just leaving the watch and phone at home and going for a run.
