Seems like cycling in Aus is getting more popular if a very dangerous in some places.

"When we ride without our clothes on we get respect," he said defiantly.


Interesting campaign.

I'd like to see more like that!

At least it is warm enough in Australia to do that! However, I'd be wary of stripping off completely given the lack of protection from the ozone layer.

I'd love to be riding again, but gosh, I'd die in this heat.... plus, riding up and down ALOT of hills at 8.30pm after working all day would NOT be fun! :P

Who knows, I might make it my goal for "next year" - to get super fit so I can ride to and from work - fast so it doesn't get too late on me!!!

I have visions of many burnt bums, and it's not a pretty sight! :lol: I'm happy to keep my clothes on thanks very much, not keen any chafing, iykwim!
