Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2007 10:25 am Post subject: World Naked Bike Ride |
|
|
I saw the World Naked Bike Ride by chance in San Francisco last weekend. It was quite funny actually. There was a group of about 100 people, mostly on bikes. There was one fellow on roller skates wearing a top hat.
There are so many prudes in the U.S. - but in San Francisco everyone was pointing, laughing, and smiling as far as I could tell. We need more cities like San Francisco.
A friend, her daughter, and I went to SFMOMA - San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
We walked down the street for lunch. On the way back to SFMOMA I was taking a photo of an old church with a new building behind it.
That's when we saw the cyclists and the skater (I blurred the part that might offend some people).
Here's a pic of my friend's daughter in the museum.
Sorry about the quality, I was just using a camera in a Treo phone.

Some westerners are weirdoes. Even if they do the naked bike ride as an environmentally friendly mode of transport, I don't see it's necessary. IMHO, being naked in public has little to do with environmentalism. I guess these naked people just wanna show their figures to attract more attention from other people. and they got it. On the other hand, I guess by the time San Francisco must have been too hot(I mean the weather, not the bodies), so these freaks were wearing nothing to stay cool. and they got it as well.
Mabey I am a prude, but whatever. |

I didn't even hear about it, so it wasn't very newsworthy here, but San Francisco is a very "live and let live" city. (That means people don't usually get upset at what other people do as long as they are nice and don't harm anyone else.) I don't care if people want to go rice bicycles around naked or not, but it usually gets a little cold here when he wind picks up in the afternoon! |

I would never be naked in public for any reasons, however, it's really comfortable and cool to be naked in your own home.
I live in the South of China, the weather is very hot. Even I turn the air conditioner to the top, I still feel very hot. sometimes I would like to be naked in my apartment, with all curtains closed. and that's very neat and unbelievable! But the negative part is that you have to hurry up to put on your clothes when someone is buzzing the doorball!! Yet you have to explain why you answered the door so late
Why don't you give it a try? come on! being naked in your house is so cool! |

I live in Southern California. I flew up to the area for a technical training.
SF is a nice city to visit. _________________ Daniel

I also dislike the idea of taking your clothes off and run around the street like a psycho.
And I also beware of taking my clothes off at home. (unless shooting photos for turtle, but I never run around without my genital protection) Only my girlfriend should see it, if ever.

What the heck are you talking about?
I go out of town for four days and you want to send naked photos?
I like women ad-miral, just in case you were confused.

I'm talking about and I think it would be a good idea if you went to the Naked Bike Ride, first you could have given RR a little pressure and second maybe more. _________________ If I say "I love you" to someone, then I also have to say "I also love everyone else inside you, I love the whole world because of you, I also love myself inside you." -- Erich Fromm, the Art of Love |

RR: All you need is a shift--a loose dress--or a light pool robe that you slip on when someone buzzes. For guys, shorts and a T-shirt.
If it is someone you want to invite inside, just let them in, give them something to drink, and excuse yourself for a moment and go change into something else.
