Since moving to London, I’ve been amazed by the number of bicycles seen parading through the crowded city streets… quite literally.
Boris Johnson would be proud of the number of Londoners abandoning their four-wheeled machines in place of the fuel-free, planet friendly, two-wheeled variety. Then again, I’m not sure how pleased he’d be at the sight of hundreds of bare bottoms upon his blue seats.
The Tweed Run is a “leisurely jaunt” through the metropolis of London. Cyclists are encouraged to wear traditional British cycling attire and the more classically vintage the bike, the better.
The World Naked Bike Ride through London is supposed to be a peaceful and imaginative protest against the dependence on oil and cars. In order to promote cycling, protestors bare it all to a giggling crowd… whilst straddling a bicycle. This year, the cycle in London happened to be on the same day as the Queen’s birthday. Stripping down to their birthday suits on the Queen’s special day… Coincidence? I think not.
