Thousands of cyclists took part in a communal bike ride completely naked in London yesterday afternoon for an annual event raising awareness for safer cycling.
The 18th World Naked Bike Ride has been going every year, bar 2020, since 2004, and is an annual event to campaign for bike safety and car culture in big cities like London.
There are a total of 200 cities taking part in the ride, including Buenos Aires, Melbourne, Vienna, Sao Paolo, Vancouver, Copenhagen, Paris, Thessaloniki, Tel Aviv and Tokyo.
They describe their campaign with a number of themes and objectives, including protest against the global dependency on oil, to curb 'car culture', obtain better rights for cyclists and demonstrate their vulnerability on city streets.
Wearing body paint and trainers - and little else - scores of activists bravely took to their saddles to take part in the London leg of the ride.
Many covered their naked bodies in glitter, painted slogans and fancy dress for the annual event.
Last year, the World Naked Bike Ride in London had an estimated 1,421 riders despite the Covid-19 risk reduction measures.
The earliest cyclists in the annual event began their ride at Victoria Park and Croydon meeting points at 11am on Saturday.
Others started in Clapham Junction, Deptford, Kew Bridge, Regent's Park, Tower Hill and Wellington Arch yesterday afternoon.
But it was not just London that saw the nude cyclists as thousands across the world took part in the annual event.
In Mexico City, participants wore Day of the Dead masks for the celebrations.
The bike ride is not only an expression of freedom but also serves as a protest for safer and more inclusive cycling.

Shocking the “normies” is the point.
If it were really about safety the riders would be DRESSED appropriately.
Also, I feel bad for any bike mechanics working at or near these events. PPE required!
It’s London....what sunshine?
At least Page 3 girls were pretty....
Wash?!
I hope they autoclave them!
Women have it better. They don’t have small hanging body parts that can get stuck in the chain. Yeeeeeoooouuuch!
These inconsistencies actually indicate one thing: The "new" morality of the woke mob is nothing but immorality.
Sorry to hear that about your friends- Satan is a subtle deceiver, and too many people fall for his deceits.
God created the clothes when man fell to hide the public nudity of Adam and Eve, and later in his word declared that it is shameful to “uncover ones nakedness “ once man fell, the sin nature took over, and folks were susceptible to all manner of sinful lusts thereafter. Before the fall, .use was not an issue. People,have a hard enough time controlling their burning passions when folks are clothed- it woild,only get worse if everyone went around unclothed, despite the claims that it wouldnt.
Wow! Almost 3 hours of bike accidents! Shows lots of situations to avoid but clearly drivers opening their doors, taking turns, etc. can mess up a cyclist’s day.
2nd link.
problem is most of those drivers don’t even see those cyclists coming because they come up so fast and cut through traffic. It’s also the cyclsit’s fault as they hit a parked or stopped car.
And then God made animal skins for them to wear.
He couldn’t have been upset with them for wearing clothes when He then went and clothed them Himself.
What upset Him was the sin they committed in eating of the forbidden tree, not covering their nakedness.
Your post has to take the cake as the most misinterpreted I have ever seen a passage of Scripture dealt with.
It’s not about safety or cycling.
It’s about promoting faggotry.
(as the most misinterpreted I have ever seen a passage of Scripture dealt with)
Saw some clown 🤡 online say that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because Lot had sex with his daughters.
Such multiple lies can only come from the father of lies.
I’ve always thought God’s “Who told you you were naked?” is the funniest line in the whole Bible.
God is not unhappy with them for wearing clothes, he’s disappointed in them for disobeying his one and only command (not to eat the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil).
Before, when they were pure and innocent, they knew nothing of evil, knew no wicked thoughts or evil desires, but only only good and natural ones. Like babes, they gave no thought to nakedness, their own or each others’. Tiny tots in their innocence don’t understand why they can’t run around naked in public — they have no idea there are sick-minded people in the world whose lustful desires for self gratification extend to getting their jollies from looking at naked children (or worse).
After eating that fruit, they do know about selfish lust (versus natural, tender loving desire for intimacy with one’s spouse). And now they know shame, and start grabbing fig leaves. Uh oh. They hear God coming for his usual stroll. What to do? Run and hide! Yes, we are all too often tempted to try to hide from God when we are in sin.
Now here Adam is, like the kid with chocolate smeared all around his mouth who wonders why his mother knows he snitched those cookies she told him not to eat before dinner.
When God asks who told them they were naked, and had they eaten that forbidden fruit, what does Adam do? He essentially blames God! That woman — the one You gave me, God — she gave me the fruit and I ate it. Eve, in her turn, blames the snake.
Don’t they sound like kids? Mom: Mikey, did you get into those cookies I told you not to eat before dinner? Mikey: Sis put me up to it. Sis: It was all Johnny’s idea! Mom: And now you’ve gone and spoiled your dinner!
Mom isn’t mad at Mikey for having chocolate smeared around his mouth, but rather disappointed Mikey has disobeyed her and spoiled his appetite for the delicious and nourishing meal she was preparing, and is now full of empty sugar calories.
God wasn’t upset with Adam and Eve for wearing fig leaves over their privates. He was disappointed in them for choosing to disobey His one and only command and ignoring His warning. There they were, in the garden paradise God had prepared for them, no toil, no sickness, no death, no pain, no tears, and complete freedom other than being told not to mess with a certain tree. But then they had to go and spoil it all for themselves by doing the one and only prohibited thing (which God had prohibited for their own good).
Well, ya can’t have sinful folks living forever, can ya? Not of you care about them: they’d be condemning themselves to eternal damnation. So out of the Garden they must go, to a life of toil and painful childbirth, and yes, death. The snake is banished, too, and punished. And there will ever be enmity between snake and mankind. But God, being Love, still loves Adam and Eve and takes pity on them by fashioning better clothes for them from animal skins.
To keep them from sneaking back in and stealing fruit from the Tree of Life, God assigns a cherubim with a flaming sword to guard it. But He already had a Plan. One day, His only begotten Son would die upon a tree of torture to redeem us and rise again three days later to restore the Way to eternal life in the glorious presence of God.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Fruit hanging from the Tree of Life in the Garden was once made freely available by God to Adam and Eve, but they blew it big time. Jesus, hanging from the cross, freely gave of Himself for our salvation.
Not going to look at the source article unless someone spots Stacy Abrams and/or Moochelle...
I reported the disrespectful questions asked by kids in catechism class correctly. I’m not saying this is my belief or whatever you are thinking.
Don’t get mad about naked bicyclists - get mad at ME!! GRRRRRRR!!!
Haha, I just thought of this - are y’all upset because I mentioned the crazy nudist cult that my sibling got involved with? Here in Colorado? :D #catholics #transperancy
