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.

This. It's actually a friend of mine who organised the petition, she campaigns against child sexual abuse and is a former victim herself. I think this event is disgusting and unnecessary.

Oh gosh, thanks for bringing this to my attention OP, I had no idea. Men are sustaining an erection for an entire cycling course? How uncomfortable for them!

People on this site often support the most degenerate of behaviours. There's so much passivity to perverts that I feel contempt for many users.

On anything of your choice. Presumably, not on a Naked Rider, although if that's what floats your boat, then who am I to judge?

Agree.

I’ll believe it’s an innocent, fun, lighthearted event when it isn’t 90% grown men.

If your DH does this, he’s probably a pervert.

They get to tick off something on the list of "Thirty steps of growing up". (There's a cartoon by Matt Groening of things like this, with things like "first diaper pin jab", "first time crossing the street without holding mom's hand", "learning Santa isn't real", "first realization that death is inevitable", etc.)

have you seen bike riders with erections? I live in a place that has a lot of naked events including bike rides and have never noticed an erection.

the wind chill factor is going to make it more likely that everything shrivels up

I was in London once when the naked cycle ride passed by. I didn't see any cocks and balls. Just some bums and boobs. Had my little granddaughters been with me, we'd all just have laughed, because there was nothing disturbing or sexual about it at all.

And the women who are all getting naked with them? Are you worried about that too? Women get naked for protests all the time. Recent ones include protests about sexual violence, gender discrimination, climate change etc. This is not a bunch of men waving their penises at unsuspecting bystanders. It's men and women, riding their bikes, and making a point about challenging the status quo, by actually challenging the status quo. It's a really effective protest, and this thread just proves it.

Warning from the council 🤣

WARNING - 30-40 erections will be flying past your house at approximately 10am on Sunday. Please do not let your children outside during this time as they will be at risk!

Not quite sure what the risk is though 🤔

Bet the naked men with their cocks out love that!

Naturism is great, with other naturists. The public shouldn't have it forced on them and unless it's being done on a private circuit on private land then the it is being forced on people

Yeah this is basically drag queen story time all over again. ‘Light hearted fun’ designed to blur the lines of decency.

If I suggested to any normal man that he strip naked and walk down the road, no agenda attached, he would be horrified. The thought of children seeing him naked would not be something he would be interested in at all. How is this different?

You can protest withoit getting your tits out. Disappointing that some women think it's all they have to offer really.

Anyone who wants to do it is just weird! It can’t be comfortable and who wants to see lolloping cock and balls?!

My kids think it’s hilarious - we go every year to watch them cycle through our town! Nothing inappropriate happens (no erections!) and I think it normalises naked humans of all shapes and sizes.

Today's "Bring Back the Laugh Emoji" (Just snorted tea on my keyboard)
😂😂

Yes let’s normalise adults stripping in front of children

This is total fabrication. I was stood on the pavement while hundreds passed by when I came across them. I didn't see a single penis, erect or otherwise. Just quite a few flabby bums.
And I reckon about 30% of the participants were women.

It would probably be very handy, it would keep it out of the way. Might be hard to sustain, though.

I've seen one of these events befin Bristol. If you're in the areain about 5 minutes they're out of sight around the next corner.
Ironically it starts atThe Full Moon pub....

I know several people who have been doing this since 2012. Many actually use it as a platform to talk about the vulnerability of cyclists on the road as well as a community building thing. I know as many women as men that participate and never got that kind of vibe from the event at all!

Plenty of women do this ride too.

Schrödinger's Penis; during the bike ride the penises are both lolloping and erect until witnessed by a Mumsnetter.

Where is this happening again......?

The World Naked Bike Ride is a global protest movement with rides in cities around the world, raising awareness of issues such as the vulnerability of cyclists on the road, reducing oil dependence and saving the planet.
