I just wonder how bad it must feel to sit on a bike seat naked.
It gets sticky and sweaty.
And it digs into your ass more than with pants on I assume. Cycling pants have additional pafding for a reason
I bet the Cornish saddle-sniffers turned out in droves.
That was my first thought as well. Must be miserably uncomfortable.

Yes, way!
I tried this but Greenpeace turned up and tried to return me to the ocean. Bastards!
Good on them
Must be a bitch to apply all those sunblock every 2 hours or so.
Luckily, they did it Britain in September, so it more than likely saved them pedalling along in damp clothes.
Imagine the coin flip for sitting in front

They used a rusty penny.
This is an annual event in SF
All I can think about is the wind chill must be a bitch
But why?
But why not?
I enjoy being naked. Not a taboo "sexual" joy, but like my body can freely move. I'm more aware of what I'm doing and what my body is feeling. My posture is better, I don't overeat (it's psychological, seeing and feeling myself controls zombie gluttony), my skin feels healthier being exposed, I'm more confident in being shirtless or "exposed" compared to normal societal dress, etc etc etc.
Most important part, we need to combat the "naked=sexual". It's taboo in the west and we have a real health problem with body hiding and not openly talking about stuff.
All that said, they're wearing shoes and helmets... It makes no sense and this is just a performative event. I wear clothes when I'm cooking or doing anything that might harm my skin on contact. They're doing a 6 day TANDEM marathon!! That's a lot of faith in the universe and all of it's constantly moving parts.
