Dozens on Saturday were slathering sunscreen where the sun doesn't usually shine. Boulder residents participated in the third annual naked bike ride as part of World Naked Bike Ride, an international mass of cyclists who, each June, abandon their underwear to protest oil dependency while having some summertime fun.
A guy (said) last night, why protest if you don't get noticed,' said Scot Colburn, 39, who moderates the group's email list.
Wearing nothing but a topaz bicycling helmet and New Balance shoes, Colburn said, this is a good way to get noticed.
The group - which disorganizers counted at 58 people, about three-quarters male - attracted applause, cheers, whistles and honks as they cruised down Pearl Street, through Eben G. Fine park and along the Boulder Creek path.
Locals lunching at outdoor cafes gaped, residents shopping in downtown stores ran outside to catch a glimpse, and groups of friends floating down Boulder Creek on inner tubes stopped dead in their tracks, standing up mid-water and craning their necks for a better glimpse.
Traffic slowed as drivers laughed, honked, and rolled down their windows to high-five the cyclists.
All across town bystanders captured the scene on their cell phone cameras.
One man in a red shirt, standing next to his sport utility vehicle on 18th and Pearl with a child in a stroller by his side, took a photo from his cell phone.
Peace through naked cycling! one cruiser yelled at the impromptu photographer.
Right on! the spectator responded.
Conspicuously missing from the mix were the police, who stopped the cyclists last year but did not issue any tickets.
No police officials stopped the nudists during the first two hours of their ride, which included a nude swim in Boulder Creek.

A thought occurs...consider Tammy Bruce. Even our lesbians are way hotter than the Left's!
"Yep, that'll get the mullahs to stop hating us."
In Boulder it's OK to flash kids, as long as you're doing it for Leftist political purposes. I guess if some dirty old man writes "Give Peace a Chance" on his johnson and does the open-the-raincoat routine at the elementary school, he's A-OK, not a pervert, just sticking it to the fascist power structure...
If they do that in my town I will bring a bucket of ice water.
Only men who never grew up are still stuck in the Sixties.
In all seriousness, I've noticed at freeps that the commies are all either very young (not even mid-twenties) or pretty old. I think a lot of the oldsters were in the Communist Party of the USA (or were older children whose parents raised them in the Party as "Red diaper babies") when the Secret Speech was disclosed. American commies had bought into the Stalin-as-benevolent-dictator crap even more than the poor, benighted Russians, and disclosure of his crimes shattered the CPUSA. Some of them formed new commie fronts, others became part of the "New Left," but the legacy of the Secret Speech is that you can always find some guy in his seventies at major anti-war events who'll tell you that Lenin was doing a fine job until the Stalinists ruined it all...

Picture source, schwing. I can't post everything here, we would be closed down. ;)
Oops, 1945=1985. And "we" shoul be "they" in that sentence; in 1985 I was collecting comic books, not serving in SAC.
I respectfully disagree. I am a Bible-thumping right wing hardliner, and if all 290 million of us thought just like me, the mullahs would hate us just as much, and almost certainly still have gone to war with us. An infidel is an infidel. The Arab street has a dimmer view of us than they should because of people like these guys, but bin Laden and coompany only care if we worship their particular permutation of the moon god; no level of orthodoxy in any other faith will please them.
Ok..will give you that; but I'm half right!
However, the view they see of this country is through Hollywood's music, film, freedoms of women, porn industry etc. However, first thing some do when they arrive on US soil, after hitting the cash station, is visit the porn/strip parlors.
Someone told me a few years back, there's a saying...
If you're not a Liberal in your 20s, you have no heart...
But if you're not a Conservative in your 40s, you have no brain....
;D
LMAO.... you're probably right!!!
BTW thanks for the link to the website.... I just looked at the Seattle gang.... its like rubber necking at an accident... just when you think you've seen it all...
Hah Hah Hah {Yuck} Hah Hah Hah {Double Yuck} Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah - Ummmm What was their message again??? I keep getting distracted....
:D
knowledgeable - but mine was just a short "event" ... no further details on this thread
:-)
But even those who ride with proper padded pants get quite sore with long rides.. many I am guessing were also NOT on quality bikes with good shocks & seats.
