Back in London again and feverishly searching the net this morning, HostelBloggers stumbled on something that tickled us. We’re absolute suckers for a good headline, and Naked Hippies on Bicycles is a cracker! (It may not be quite Ice cream man has assets frozen - what is? - but it still caught our beady magpie-like eye!)

Writer Ian Mackenzie has some very salient observations to make amidst all the jiggling body parts of the Vancouver Naked Bike Ride:

1. “naked people are bizarre for about 10 minutes, then it becomes so normal you barely notice”

2. “there’s something very beautiful about complete inhibition to social code”

3. “looking around it’s entirely obvious we’re utterly dependent on cars, and it’s interesting to think how we let it get this way”

To see the naked wheeled cavalry charge in all its unapologetic glory(!), just follow the Naked Hippies link above. (Not recommended for the prudish…)
