World Naked Bike Ride: Cambridge, UK Update

Having drawn everyone's attention to the Naked Bike Ride in Cambridge England, I feel it is my duty to report back. Unfortunatley, I was unable to make the transatlantic trip and spent the day in sunny Florida. Which was clearly a stark contrast to the English rain of Cambridge. However, the internet has been a helpful aid in my search for the delinquent and the naked.

It was a rainy day for the collected naked bike riders of Cambridge.  A collection that looked more old professor than 20 something undergraduate, a fact that surprised me. Where are all the adventurous twenty-somethings looking for risky escapades or recognition of environmental issues. Because isn't that the real reason people are getting naked? No really, I'm asking. I was drawn in at naked.


The rather waterlogged, generally middle aged bike riders looked a little forlorn. As for the collected crowds. Well, once it started raining everyone but the hardy bike riders disappeared. Before it started raining there was a Mardi Gras feeling without the excitements, just the dubious looking men with cameras taking pictures of old men without clothes on.

So in the spirit of what we might have expected, here are naked people with bikes that did not turn up to Cambridge.

I love the cheeks on the last guy. Not so much purple briefs to his left.
