This past Saturday over three thousand bikers in various stages of undress including many totally nude rode a ten mile trek through the streets of Philadelphia to protest the nation's dependence on fossil fuel, advocate for bike safety and promote 'positive body' image. I don't make this crap up, folks.
If somebody reading this blog can connect the dots between fossil fuel dependence, bicycle safety and public nudity, please do so. As the legend goes the English noblewoman Lady Godiva reportedly rode nude through the streets of England protesting her husband's excessive taxation on their poor tenants. Seems after failed pleas to cause her husband to change the tax, he (husband) said if you ride a horse through the streets naked, I'll consider tax reductions. She evidently took the challenge.
To protect his wife from being gazed upon Godiva's husband issued a proclamation stating all should stay in homes and cover windows during the ride. Don't you know some some folks just refuse to follow direction. The local taylor fella, named Thomas had to look and I'll be dadgumit if he didn't go blind. (Tom must have been fondling himself while 'peeping.')
We all know without a doubt that the 3,000-plus nude riders 'wanted' people to peek at them; that's why they rode naked through Philly streets on bikes risking valuable body parts getting caught in the bicycle spokes.

Don't Look Tom
