At noon today Fremont Fair and Solstice Parade kicks off with the famous naked bicyclists, in the hundreds.
Seattle weather forecast for noon today: 58 degrees, Wind 5mph SSE, rain showers.
Gives me goosebumps.

Posted by Vanderleun at June 19, 2010 9:39 AMI once rode a bicycle naked. But it was in the only place one should ever do so: in a bad dream.
Posted by: Gagdad Bob at June 19, 2010 11:41 AMFor the male observer of such an event, cold weather is to be preferred. Makes some things more visible, and some things less...if you know what I mean.

Posted by: Jewel at June 19, 2010 2:44 PMLike SF's Bay to Breakers or New Orleans' Mardi Gras, a little public nekkidness is okay if it's part of what I call "Festival Time": a certain physical and temporal space wherein the normal social rules are relaxed, and ol' Dionysius can have free reign among mortals for awhile. Plus, I'd far rather have Seattle's boho/avant types painting their bodies and riding bikes naked, than angrily protesting some contrived *cause du jour*.

Posted by: Andy at June 19, 2010 4:19 PMThis was followed up by the annual "Hipptaditty Festival"
Hipptaditty:
Never misses a chance to sniff a bicycle seat.
It's always the wrong people who choose to be naked in public.
