Bike naked in Los Angeles tomorrow

http://www.aanr.com/blog/l-a-naked-bike-ride-to-promote-alternative-fuel-use-and-bike-safety/?utm_source=E-Bulletin+6-14-12&utm_campaign=AANR.com&utm_medium=email


The WNBR has been successfully done in over 70 cities in 20 countries around the world, plus many large American cities such as San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and New York. Until 2010, there had never been a successful attempt through Los Angeles because the city and county have anti-nudity ordinances, strictly enforced, controlling their parks and beaches. But technically there are no laws on the books against nudity in the central city, which is why we are doing the bike ride there, and not along the coast.

Aside from the aesthetic horror that me biking naked would present to the rest of the world, I'm going to pass on this offer because I think it would be damned uncomfortable, down there.

That is the 1% of people who look good enough to be seen naked in public. For the rest of the 99%...they should only be seen through beer goggles or in dim candlelight.
