A colleague pointed me to this article in the Trib's RedEye about World Naked Bike Ride. He suggested I attend, since I missed out on Bike The Drive (again). Um, no thanks. I can support the cause (protesting oil consumption), but not the actual protest since (a) it's illegal to be naked in public in Chicago, (b) those tight bike shorts are uncomfortable enough without the disgusting and chafing factors of cycling bareback, and (c) this body has borne three kids and is most definitely worse for the wear.
Actually, a better protest might be to force people to have to look at me naked until they promise to stop driving Hummers and shit. Really, people. You don't want that. Let's make some changes.

I think the nekkid bike ride would encourage a lot of people to ride in SUVs to cover up their nekkidness.
