Cleaning the windows around the house.

Bed? Where art thou?

TC... can't imagine riding a bike on a hot sunny day.

How do you sit?

The lady is in Sweden, many hours night-ward of us. FReepers in Australia and New Zealand keep even weirder hours, compared to EDT :-).

I haven't ridden a bike, except in an emergency, since I had my second child. Giving birth is bad enough!

LOl...

That's right... I remember now that she's from Sweden.

Working out regularly, but its been awhile since I've ridden my bike as well.

You can bet next time I go riding it won't be in SF, and it won't be without clothes!

Gotta get back to window cleaning... with clothes on! (That good Catholic upbringing!)

Chortle!

I run, a bit. In substantial clothing, even on my treadmill in the kitchen.

I think it's an American thing, more than being Catholic. I took my daughter to a birthday party down the street just a little while ago - a South American family - and there was lots of cleavage on display! (No gonads, though, thank God!)

I believe it's a British thing, actually. Them chaps were world-reknowned for refusing to remove or redesign their all-wool redcoats in the harshest tropical climates.

LOL! What's a little heatstroke, as long as you don't lower your standards?

In the tropics, you can survive either in ten-yards-of-cotton-gauze, or in next-to-nothing. It would be interesting to see why one culture favors the former, and another the latter!

I saw pictures from the naked cyclist rally in SF before the moderator yanked it. They were blindingly uggggly! The female creature with the "I'd rather have this Bush for president" was especially grotesque.

Probably humidity. The next-to-nothing cultures that pop to mind are rain-forest dwellers; the head-to-toe covered people are semi-desert and desert dwellers.

Sweat works great as a cooler in low humidity; the trick is to not lose it unnecessarily quickly; the clothing tends to protect you from the sun. In damp climates, you're better off just letting it stream off you; the clothing is tends to... well... be nonexistant.

Excellent points. It explains why I'm so uncomfortable covered in cotton dresses in this humid climate :-). I'll bet the native Catawba ladies wore next to nothing!

Yep... we Americans, more conservative than liberal these days, tend to be a modest lot.

Progressing slowly on the windows... ; 1

I'm impressed! We only clean the windows when we have the house listed for sale.

I call those pictures "instant self-esteem for men."

Explains a lot about the liberal male, though.

Love your comment, Karen, lol.

Well, if these people aren't embarrassed to express what they believe to be their thoughtful opinion as...

"I'D RATHER HAVE THIS BUSH FOR PRESIDENT" read one lady's naked torso with an arrow pointing down to the presidential material in question.

There is no doubt they aren't embarrassed of showing off their naked ugliness, either. However, what they don't realize is that no one takes them seriously except, becoming the butt of jokes – no pun intended - well, maybe. :-)

Some of those men have to be gay. They aren't going to please any women with that "equipment."

You haven't seen the windows.

Actually they are coming along. The best thing to use is vinegar and water. (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water)

Cuts through the film, and cleans.

Although if I lived along a route where these bicyclists were, I'd just as soon keep the windows dirty.

Oh Victoria... take credit where credit is due.

Good one!

The whole nude bicyle thing defeats their whole argument. You see anyone riding down the street without clothes, and protesting some cause, you gotta know the elevator ain't running all the way to the top.

Their ideas are stripped of any substance. ; )

Like you said, they can't be taken seriously. SO... why do they do it?

That's the real question.

If North Korea ever does toss a missla at America, let it land in SF. That place needs sterlizing. What a disgusting place.

I do not think those men had much to brag about, if you know what I mean.
