Where does it say you can't ride your bike naked through the streets of Missoula, Montana, on a warm summer day, huh? Nowhere, that's where! Which is why there was absolutely nothing wrong with the "Bare As You Dare" bike ride last August, in which about 100 people pedaled in various states of undress -- or no dress! -- to make some kind of point about how bike riding is fun and being naked is fun too! Also something about how bicycles are better for the environment than cars, which is probably an urban myth, and some other thing about how all bodies are beautiful, which is DEFINITELY an urban myth. It's sort of a worldwide movement, and people have been enjoying getting their harmless point-making nudity on for years, in all kinds of places.
Providing you with entertainment is not their motivation, and obtaining your aesthetic approval is not their goal. If their nudity bothers you then put away the binoculars.
Trust me, taking a spill (try it at racing speed sometime) hurts real bad even if you are fully clothed. The presence or absence of clothing wouldn&#039;t make much of a difference; you&#039;d lose skin either way. I can show you some nice scars that are souvenirs from my own racing days. Wearing a helmet does make an appreciable difference, though. I never rode nude but I cannot imagine how the result of a high speed crash would be any different if the cyclist was <i>au naturel.</i>
The risk of saddle sores when wearing padded bike shorts varies based mostly on how much you ride, and to some extent also on the design and quality of your saddle (bike seat). There would certainly be more risk of it if the cyclist was bare-bottomed, but even then it is highly dependent upon the amount of time in the saddle, both elapsed time on that ride and accumulated time for the season up to that time.
An experienced cyclist probably wouldn&#039;t experience any problems going bareback while traveling on paved streets or roads for short distances of up to, oh 25 miles or so.
Or even riding a bike while nude over such distances, for that matter.
<i>But oh no, some people in Missoula did not care for seeing that sort of thing, not one little bit.</i>

You know, I was just thinking about moving to Montana.
Missoula ain&#039;t in the pocket of Big Boobs or Big Penis.
Two coconuts and a salami, if I can remember where I hid it.

Passing the torch to a new generation...
And even if you do happen to have it, they don&#039;t want it.
Mine keeps telling me that it&#039;s time to hit the gym.
It is wintertime on the prairie. You definitely don&#039;t want to do the FKK thing out there right now.
If the 2015 ride goes ahead, will any Montana-resident Wonkette staff be taking part?
Is this what Rebecca&#039;s been up to?
Isn&#039;t that an anagram of Regis Philbin?

Don&#039;t tell Doc Moore, you can totally see their peckers!
