Look, I’m as forward thinking as the rest. But ok..someone tell me the root cause of this again??? Is it to show vulnerability of a biker as a metaphor if you will, that bikers have no protection against the road and its traffic..is that about right? Well, its not that at all…its a chance for exhibitionists to schlong away and not get arrested. Its a time to let young teens to follow you and giggle, it’s a time to show yourself off to all ages…this isn’t ethical, and in these times should have a second thought or three on carrying this out. If you noticed though, most had on a helmet…so the metaphor was for what again? Naked against traffic? I believe its something that shouldn’t be on the yearly roster. Comeon, find somethign else to do. If you noticed, there wasn’t any signs, just a bunch of naked fools bicycling away without being arrested. And, if its legal to bike naked for one day, you are opening up a can of worms for any other day as far as i’m concerned. Why don’t we have naked at work day?? Provincially approved, to show how vulnerable the worker bees feel at the constant threat of being laid off. Or, how about naked day on the bus? The bus doesn’t have any seatbelts, and being naked would represent how vulnerable we are on buses without seatbelts. I could go on, but i think y’all get my point. Why? —Naked as a Jay Bird.

it’s one fecking day, a couple of hours. no one cares
I’m sure it’s quite liberating, if one dares.
Hahhaha it’s so funny when people overreact this way. “One day of the year where people can bike naked?? WHAT IF PEOPLE WANT TO START BIKING NAKED ALL THE TIME. WHAT IF THERE ARE NAKED WORK PARTIES AND NAKED PARADES AND NAKED JOGGING.” Obviously I exaggerated his post (only by a little bit though o_O) but that’s ridiculous/hilarious lol.
god op, just shut your eyes for the nano second as they pass. it’s just human bodies without clothing. isn’t there anything else happening in this world that brings your moral outrage to a boil besides this? anything?
I enjoy naked, being and seeing.
reg, highly recommend outdoor shower. install one.
Having an outdoor shower could get interesting….I mean that would be nice.
Come on op. It’s stupid but it’s not offensive. No, what i find offensive is that you seem to only be pissed off at the guys’ nudity but not the females.
You have some serious hangups.
you havin g outdoor showre would lower propertey value s sheila .
Punky I’m fairly good looking.Not all men would think I’m nice looking but that’s their opinion. if you don’t like the way I look,don’t look at me.
Not long ago your insult would’ve upset me but now it doesn’t.
lols
I had to stop at “this isn’t ethical”. Thank you for that ruling, Mr. Pope.
Y’know what’s really liberating – Dosing their bike seats with Absorbine Jr. when they’re at the pre-ride drum circle.
heh heh heh.
I generally have no issue with nudity, but this ride ended up stopping at an event at Grand Patade. This makes me ponder, what would motivate a grown man to want to walk around with his cock out in front of children?
Bishop Lahey is definitely not going to be next year’s route planner, or so I hear.
The pinnacle of Hipsterism, the Naked Bike Ride with Body Painting and Beards (on guys and girls).
They ended up at Grand Parade while the Canada Games event was going on because someone in the planning department dun goofed. Also, they can get away with being naked because it’s (ostensibly) a form of protest, similar to how it’s illegal for women to be topless in public, but if it’s done as a form of protest, it’s perfectly legal.
i like my seat too much to subject it to my nakedness
I wrote this, and i stand by what i feel. There is NO reason to ride around publically naked, at a time when school is out for summer, and then reschlong at the Grand Parade where again everyone congregates, including tourists. Whom ever thinks this is a good idea, needs their head checked out. The one on the shoulders for once this time.
Just prepare for that ripping velcro-like noise of nutsacks parting from leather seats.
Personally, I love the Schlong Riders. May they ride hard and long.
I liked looking at the schlongs… tits? meh…
if you’re a guy, riding a bicycle naked….would anything out there in the cold actually be hefty enough to be called a SCHLONG? maybe a dinky-doo or a pee-pee or a silly-willy.
but a weighty, bulgy, meaty SCHLONG? nah. think of the spokes man! ouch!
i thought the buttocks were more prominent than the one-eyed trouser snakes
I guess they wouldn’t be trouser snakes if there are no trousers involved.
if I were on the ride you wouldn’t be able to see any bike parts I betcha. my arse would cover the damn thing. I could use one of my breasts as a sail. argh matey!
hey, when is talk like a pie-rat day?
september 19th me hearty
I want to install a nice cannon on that big rock in the front yard.
i triple dog dare ya
aiming it at neighbour. she who yells at really nice kid. cow
GDM. Go Big or Go Home.
This guy has the right idea:

yabbut, I want live ammo. something that really stings. maybe decapitates. yeah!
If you’re determined to go retro, I’d recommend a 12 Pound “Napoleon” with plenty of grapeshot and canister.
Me, I’d prefer something a bit more modern:

Overkill?. Sure.
But, the older the boy, the more impressive the toy.
@Irishman The human body is not something to be embarrassed or ashamed of. I don’t give a fuck if a group of people want to have a naked parade.
Your delicate eyes had to* look at bodies? You poor fragile thing! *Note, you didn’t even, you could have looked away. Everyone has bodies, and no one was doing it for lewd purposes. Let’s be grownups, shall we?
I like the naked bodies.

The only reason I can see someone being so upset about this event is because they are self conscious themselves. Look away. It’s advertised so avoid the area at that time. Or better yet enjoy the view and laugh it up like every other person in Halifax did that day! It’s stupid complaints like this that ruin all the fun in this city. As most people know- being naked feels very free. Who wouldn’t take the opportunity to do it if they had the guts. Suck it up and find something worth complaining about.
