  1. I wear a helmet when riding, but the question remains:

    Are clothes necessary?

    With savings from expensive brand spandex shorts and advertising jerseys you could upgrade to a full
    DA gruppo. And not have tan lines!

    Just a thought...

    If local laws don't forbid, local weather is suitable, and local tastes run to your physique, hey,
    flaunt it. But there are some people (myself included) who should *never* consider this.

    And, lest we forget, clothes reduce road rash in the event of a spill.

    Definately not!

    Right. Bike naked, because coed naked cycling is NOT just for T-shirts. Be careful how you fall
    though - you don't want any road rash on your tingly naughty bits.

    Do you have statistics to prove this?

    Actually, wearing clothes may be dangerous or may encourage dangerous behavior. A large study
    performed in Australia showed that men who wore jockstraps were six times more likely to engage in
    risk taking behavior than naked men. There were also many reports of clothing related injuries,
    including six cases of third-degree corduroy burns. -- Jay Beattie.

    According to the Helmet Scientists of this group, you would have to repeat the same, exact crash
    with and without clothes in order to draw any conclusions, right? After all, if you had not been
    wearing clothes, maybe you would not have crashed at all!

    There was an article in todays paper which claimed, on average, Americans and Australians have sex 115 times per year. Now the average serious cyclist probably rides his bike on 250 days per year. 115 +250 = 365
    Does that mean that a nude cyclist always has sex on the days he/she isn't riding?

  13. If you fall, you are likely to sustain rode rash all over your body. This is the reason I wear, at
    least, a jersey. I know that most falls are caused by poor riding skills or by traffic. So I guess I
    should stop wearing a jersey.

    Nude cycling is popular in Europe, especially in beach towns during the warmer months. In the U.S.,
    due to the puritannical laws, it is probably not a good idea. In any case, you should at least wear
    a helmet and shoes.

    And thereby stop the traffic? Hmmmm....

    Dude! Those aren't real cyclists. One bicycle was single speed with a coaster brake and the other
    had what looked like a steel derailleur.

    Do you have any hard evidence of nude cycling in Europe?
