Anyone encountered this lot before ? Heard they would be protesting against car culture and oil dependancy at Brighton and had high hopes of Bo derek on a bike trying to get me to sell the zody.
Grim reality was a few Naturist types scowling as they rode past....of course i responded with a hydrocarbon shower ;D
All seems a bit daft that in this day and age you can be fined for showing a packet of cigs in the supermarket yet you can break public decency laws by cycling around with your john thomas out.
Apparently they cycle naked to illustrate there vulnerability as a cyclist....with that in mind you'd have though they'd all have lights on the front of there bike and a rear light that didn't blink by design. Have insurance to be on the road etc etc etc
Strange times!!

It's totally bonkers Mick, I enjoy cycling myself but in the main despise cyclists I encounter out on the roads, especially the hardcore lycra clad clowns who like to break the law and ride two abreast thinking that the roads belong to them, not to mention ignoring red traffic lights

I look forward to the day when all road using cyclists are made to pass a road safety test , have to have insurance, pay a small road tax fee along with the mandatory fitment of a front light and non flashing rear light.
If i dove my car on a dark night without headlights and flashing rear lights along with no insurance , driving licence or tax there would be hell to pay.....Rant over
For now ;D

And as for the ones who insist on taking their bikes on crowded commuter trains.... They should be made to buy 2 extra tickets for their bike, it takes up the space of 2 people.
