Eugene’s naked bike riders are back, and this time they have the police on their side.

Weird how everytime the liberals want to piss and moan about something, the first thing they do is take off their clothes. Very childish.

I’d think bicycle seats and nudity wouldn’t mix well.

Check out the genius comments after the article. Apparently, all the Libs are way too busy pushing their agenda to come up with real solutions to any of the problems in Eugene. Typical.

Well, if your gay, you remove the seat and sit on the post. Quite comfortable.
