Naked bike ride - protect our children

[cleaningthebog]

The one where the men get their jollies showing their cock and balls. There is a petition which is not getting much traction. You may want to sign if you don't want to encourage this.

So what? She can say what she wants, others can say what they want in return. Thats what happens here

Funny, but there's only one side of the debate making personal remarks though isn't it?

Yes, I do know how it works.

If you honestly think absolutely none of the men participating are doing so to get some sexual kick out of it, then you are very very naive.

i haven’t read all the comments , I don’t know who’s making personal attacks and I’m personally not on any side of anything. However, one thing I can be sure of, is that the person you responded has said many things about what she thinks about this bike ride and no one has sought to stop her, contrary to your odd statement.

My original comment wasn't actually meant to be taken literally if that helps make it less odd for you.

And I'd rather be odd than call people 'ridiculous' 'pearl clutchers' who need to 'get a grip' just because they don't agree with me but that's just me.

Sadly, having worked with hundreds of sex offenders I have to agree. The majority of the cyclists won't be, of course but there still will be plenty.

Ah, well in this case you could have said; “…. but you’re not allowed to say anything without being called a [insert previously used insult here]” then it would have been clearer what you were getting at.

I didn't think I had to but here we are.

I participated in the London one a few times and it was great. I didn't get creepy vibes from anyone participating (and I'd guess it was a pretty even male/female split), only from some of the men who gathered near the start line to ogle. I think people take part for many reasons. Some are naturists but for others (me included) it's about highlighting your vulnerability as a cyclist. Everyone I saw (including passers by) seemed to be having a great time

You’ve lost me

You didn’t think you had to use the right words to convey your point in a thread with hundreds of responses and almost as many contributors, all of whom are strangers? It’s hard to guess what a random person online means if it’s not what they actually say.

If that's a concern, the event is easily avoided.

OK, I think I'm done picking over this. I'm very sorry you misunderstood.

Last year, our family were walking down The Mall. Unbeknownst to us, the naked bike ride was about to finish! We turned round to see hundreds of naked cyclists speeding towards us. Men and women, but mostly men. And a really surprising number of erections. Literally dozens, I would think.

Well the photos show plenty of women

And no one is erect and riding a bike. Literally not dozens

Adults aren’t allowed to walk around naked in public though?

It just rings alarm bells why these men even feel the need to exhibit themselves in such a way. Need their hard drives checked.

Yes darling, he does have his penis out. Why you ask? Because he wants to expose himself to people. No, it’s not the same as a flasher or abuser darling. Why? Because it’s on a bike silly!

No need to apologise.

Yes they are. Why you'd choose to do so is beyond me, but it is legal to be naked in public.

Yes, darling, the men and ladies have no clothes on. Why, you ask? Because they’re being silly, and they feel like it!

The other side is calling people perverts and strongly implying they are paedophiles at times...

Ye... ye they are

I remember seeing a naked run on TV when I was about 8, they showed everything, and I thought it was the funniest thing ever. I’m sure it was led by Billy Connolly. Very harmless.

Is that more the participants or the posters supporting them though? Because my examples were definitely aimed at differently minded posters.

Oh my we need the 😄 emoji back !
