Naked bike ride

[Chocbuttonsandredwine]

Was in London yesterday: naked bike ride. Fine.. not my thing (or many other women). They finished the ride/protest/whatvever and then conjugated near B palace.. and just seemed to be happy wafting their micro penis’s about for kicks and giggles/

A lot of horrid middle aged naked men kicking about just felt unnecessary.

and 🤮

If a single man or group of naked men were gathered in a park in public they would be cautioned for indecent exposure. But if they decide to hop on a bike and cycle around, it’s fine 🤔

And i agree with PPs about the phrasing of the OP.
Very unpleasant

My adolescent daughters stumbled across this a few years ago at a junction in London. Queue them laughing their heads off and taking many photos to regale their friends with... also with much laughter.
Aren't people laughing at these people more than anything else?

I don’t see how a bicycle stops it being indecent exposure.

At least they weren’t sunbathing in their own gardens!

Classic Mumsnet 🤣

So long as they weren’t intending to cause distress or alarm, it wasn’t indecent exposure, bike or not.

Stoppit, stoppit ! 😂

Says you.

He was repeatedly publicly exposing himself near children & failing to keep to bail conditions. Seems to have significant mental health problems.

Doesn’t bother me at all- funny if anything. But not on the Boris bikes please.

Do the cyclists wear shoes? If so they're not fully naked and demonstrating rather neatly why humans developed clothing (including shoes & cycle helmets)

Also not very aerodynamic for the males - this has been tested in a wind tunnel- too many flappy bits slow you down!

Not something I'd wish to see!

There were lots of women there in the photos

The only "attention" they are "seeking" is for their causes of body positivity and rethinking oil and car usage

It's been happening 21 years now

It's completely legal and the police are well aware it's happening.

Absolutely repulsive 🤢 and so attention seeking. New fear unlocked: catching worms or STIs from lime bikes.

What's "absolutely repulsive" about the human body? How do you cope looking at yourself in the bath or shower?

What a nasty and ridiculous post.

Plenty of women - and neither men nor women need to fit your definition of attractive to exist in your perfect world.

Of course there's no need to be naked but the entire point is that people can be, and shouldn't feel that they can't be if they're comfortable to be. The point is that our bodies are not wholly sexual things - even when naked. And, frankly, if everyone accepted the premise that we're more than just useful for sex and more than only worthwhile when attractive, then women benefit from that far more than men do.

But, sure, shit all over it. Mock them and their bodies because you missed the point.

How is it not classed as indecent exposure in that situation?

And if it did, indeed, cause distress and alarm? How do you actually know that none of the men are flashers or exhibitionists doing it for kicks?

Where’s the laughing emoji when you need it 😂

I don’t care about nakedness at all , it just doesn’t bother me and think it would be pretty horrible to read a post from a man stating that all the women on the naked bike ride had saggy tits and stretchmarks or such. I feel disgusted by people who make micro penis jokes ,as I do by anyone really who comments on other bodies. Naked people don’t owe you pretty!

I saw a naked rambler going over Seven Sisters a few weeks ago and was a bit surprised but found it quite funny. Naked bike riding isn’t nice though - skid marks on the seat - yuk.

I have always been wary of using the lime bikes before because they look like glorified Petri dishes but now I’ve heard this I think I might keep a 10m distance from one at all times. 🤮. Imagine if you are the next user!

It isn’t for me, but each to their own.

I’ve witnessed this many times in previous years. It’s not only men; there’s always been a reasonable number of women. And it’s really not in the slightest bit offensive or sexual or threatening in any way. Nudity is only a problem if it’s being used as a sexual threat, and this very much not that.

Also, there are participants of all ages and if any of the men were getting a thrill out of it, the penises on display would not have been as micro as you apparently believe they were.

What does it matter how old they are and how big/small their dicks are, anyway? Unless you mistakenly believed they were attempting to make themselves attractive to you, it really isn’t about the aesthetics.

If you found it so disgusting, why were you standing around gawping at their cocks with your mental measuring tape out? Just avert your gaze.
