Cyclists flesh out their stand against cars — and clothes
I'm an avid cyclist but I think I'll pass on the following activity. Modesty has nothing to do with it. I'm a guy and the male anatomy makes riding a bike in the buff a risky activity.

By Nick Martin

Seattle Times staff reporter

There wasn't quite the sea of flesh tones, body paint and bicycles yesterday at Gasworks Park some had expected.

In fact, there looked to be about twice as many photographers and spectators as naked bicyclists at the park, the starting point for the Seattle contribution to yesterday's World Naked Bike Ride.

Ride organizers in London told The Associated Press that similar events were planned around the globe in a number of countries, including Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy, Latvia and Israel.

It was the second time in as many years that dozens of area residents geared up and stripped down for a ride meant to be as much a protest of America's oil dependence as it was a monumental attempt at overcoming bashfulness.

5. I'll pass, too

I know some of the people who do this, and they're delightful, but I really don't need to find later that nude photos of me are being secretly traded on the black market.

B-)

6. Yeah that's my big fear too...
"I'll trade you one naked MichiDem for 3,000 naked Urkels"

"No deal"
