August 5, 2008: Biking in San Francisco [NSFW]

I had a friend email me several photos of folks with body paint riding bikes in San Francisco. I sure can't imagine anyone doing that in Mississippi!! Anyway, I found the 2nd pic with the child in it very disturbing. Why in the world would anyone take a child to such an event??

How do I edit the title to mark this NSFW??

Maybe the parents are riding too?

I'm sure Bruce will fix up the title if he thinks it's necessary Sarge.

I can't do that, only UT can.
IOtD is different from the rest of the board. It's a bad idea to put nsfw pictures in the IOtD, as many, if not most, of the IOtD viewers do so from work.

Sorry about this. I hope no one gets in trouble. BTW, does anybody know what in the heck is going on in these pictures?

If your work really gives a shit about this image you probably should look for a new job.

NSFW??? Nude Saggy Fat Women?? What's it mean?

I'd take a child to see nude bikers.
Especially nude bikers in body paint.

I know it's not technically suitable for IoTD, but it's great to see cocks in this thread We only usually get the PETA chicks.

It's World Naked Bike Ride apparently. And the Aussies seem into it in a big way too.

I'm frightened for the bicycle seats. :shudder:

i especially like the bicycle helmets and riding gloves. even if some of these folks are nude, safety first!

Finally, a good explanation for why boys' bikes should have the crossbar and girls' bikes don't.

The risk of crashing is inversely proportional to velocity, but the severity of injury is a function of the cube of velocity times the square of nakidity.

Kinda scared to ask but what is the square of nakidity?

yet another reason not to visit san francisco.

Some crazy demented little part of my brain thinks that it would be pretty funny and gross if these photos were scratch-n-sniff.

Well I think those riders are just a bit too cheeky for me.

Crossbars can hurt

Frankly, if I had my parts dangling down, I'd prefer a bike without the crossbars. And with cutaway seats.

Just not understanding why some folks need to put it all out there.

'specially the ones who look better with a little covering. Not a prude here, not by any means, but I am one who looks around and is VERY thankful for clothes and laws that make you put something on.

I think I saw BigV in those Seattle pics.

Snip(I agree with Coign, it seems like most people are more concerned with children seeing nudity and love than violence and hate. I don't understand that.) When was the last time you saw painted up machine gun murderers getting together and riding through the streets committing violence?

Oh, I haven't been to Chicago in years.

... and like Sudan (Darfur), Birma, Zimbabwe or take your pick from the middle east countries, to mention just a few.

I would be a hypocrite if I didn't say I liked violence. I am a huge fan of movies like Shoot 'Em Up, Sin City, and 300. I own a number of the GTA games. One of my favorite shows on TV is Supernatural. And when Clair from Heroes had to push her ribs back when they were sticking out of her chest, or when Peter had to pry himself off of that car with the broken piece of metal sticking through his chest? Hell who isn't a fan of violence?

But raising children around these types of violence and then to say, oh a naked person is downright evil. Granted if my child saw a naked person who was chasing them down the street, I would teach them that is bad. Just as bad as if they saw the same event and the guy was holding a large machete. But seeing a machete wielding manic on TV or seeing a naked person on TV? Is either one going to destroy the psyche of our future?

I don't mind seeing nekkid people, but these bike peeps in the photo are not particularly attractive subjects, especially being bent over like that. Not that I would look any better, mind you, but I just wouldn't have my painted parts out there to show the world. I'm ugly AND shy.

I agree with Coign, it seems like most people are more concerned with children seeing nudity and love than violence and hate. I don't understand that.

Thank God!!! After seeing the second pic, I don't feel as inadequate as I usually do after seeing things that resemble peni. And those do resemble peni, only smaller. Feels good to feel adequate, for once.:p

On nudity Vs. violence:

Remember the boob-flash at the superbowl? I was quite amused to see many people go into a pink fit (sorry ) over a glimpse of a nipple but not be at all concerned by the organised personal violence that followed. To my point of view, that's some weird priorities.

I like to watch football (of many varieties - not so keen on the US kind but nevermind). I like to watch breasts too (pretty much any variety). Love the way they bounce.

I don't think young kids should be allowed to see football until they are old enough to grasp the point about there being appropriate times and places for certain behaviour. Anyone who has tried to prevent a four-year-old from crash-tackling his little sister should see my reasoning.

The only problem I had with FlashBreast is that it was so obviously set up to get exactly the reaction that ensued. People are gullible.

Why?

Why is it that those that want to go naked are always ugly fat cows??? This does NOT fit into my fantasy world.

And what does it do for others?

Nuth Ing.

I'm with Armygrognard.

Oh but unless you're assuming the answer for everybody, you meant to say "what does it do for me?" And I'm sure absolutely nobody cares about the answer, so there's no need to ask the question. Nobody has a duty to tickle your nutsack.

I've been a member of a naturist resort - two of them, in fact. There are standards of behavior and a level of civility that is hard to find in clothed worlds. I don't know why that is so, but it's a consideration due others that is given to the person and not the costume. Try it, you may like it! Anyone going to naturist resorts to ogle is immediately made aware of the inappropriateness and consequences of such actions. The jokes and cartoons do not portray the custom accurately - big surprise! Except for the sunburns in unusual places, that one is spot on.
