Hope they remembered the sun cream! Thousands of cyclists strip off as they take to the streets of London for the World Naked Bike Ride with other events taking place in 200 cities across the globe

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.

FReepers for those of you who cycle tell me: What was the point of this?

Thousand of cyclists should be ashamed of themselves. I thought spandax was bad enough but no I was wrong put the spandax back on or at least a wooden barrel.

Oh and take note of the pride flag on down in one of the pictures.

No need for the barf alert you all know this one is going to be bad.

Bikers: making sure to inconvenience everyone with their hobby.

Bikers always want to share the road yet always ignore traffic laws themselves

The Marxist left democrazies are so retarded and immature that they have a hell of a time keeping their clothes on in public. Real sickos.

Create more business for proctologists? A narrow bike saddle and a bare bum is a recipe for disaster.

Safer? I’ve watched that race Tour d’ France. When one crashes they all crash, talk about road rash. I watched a few videos of this one just hoping for that kind of crash but no such luck, then again it’s probably not been posted it would be hard to edit. Road rash is terrible with spandix imagine without anything at all. These people are idiots.

Western civilization needs to appreciate that God is patient with them, not wanting any of them to perish but all to repent.

If it was my call, I would have unleased some thunderbolts years ago.

But then I would have also had to unleash a few on those free traitors who built up the communists' military to save a few pennies on communist made paint brushes, so maybe we all need to be thankful for God's patience.

If these individuals can take it ALL off, we should be able to be in non-compliance the next time the leftists try to put us in masks again.

Thousands of “brave” exhibitionists take to the streets.

I’ve seen the pictures - believe me the sight ain’t what its cracked up to be.

Narcissism is rampant and now combined with exhibitionism as some sort of protest that is totally unrelated to bike safety. People just want to shock others and draw attention to themselves.

That’s my experience with bikers too.
Strange the amount of arrogance they have, almost like queers in the workplace.

Are people being excluded from cycling now?! LOL! All you need is a bike. And per this event, you don't even need clothing!
