Naked cyclist causes traffic queues in Derbyshire

I'd hate to be right behind when he rose out the saddle on a climb.

Isn't the law that being nude in public is not a crime, unless you are causing offence. But someone has to complain to the police that you are causing offence, and the police has to prove that you intended to cause offence.

To many people out there, simply riding a bike is intention to cause offence, regardless of whether you're wearing clothes...

Why are the police looking for him? Have they not checked the law? He has not broken any law, so I ask again, why look for him?

There is no good reason why a naked cyclist should hold up the traffic any more than any cyclist, so if the police should be looking for anyone it has to be the motorists who failed to make progress (a reason for failing your driving test).

The correct police response, if called by a member of the public over an issue like this should be "Has he harmed anyone? No. No problem then, just ignore him and carry on..." And before anyone says that the sight of a naked person could harm a child, that is rubbish; no-one has ever been able to show this to be the case, quite the opposite in fact.

No tan lines then? Not a "real" cyclist.

This really narrows it down. Wait... was it me?

Surely the filth have better things to do than hunt for an allegedly naked cyclist? Perhaps hey should look for the Naked Chef first?

I'm sure there a joke about helmets in here somewhere. Oooh er missus.

There is nothing illegal about being nude in public - ask 'Tick-Tock' who rides to and from Cambridge everyday.

As a point of order
Nude - Without covering
Naked - Without protection/guard

Angela Rippon's let herself go.

I hope his bum was clean because you'll never get the stink off the saddle otherwise.

Look, I freely admit that I look a bit of a c0ck in Lycra. But this is going too far.

Less weight and more aero, what's not to like?

Hope we wasn't using an Arione saddle, man, those things destroy testicles surrounded in padding, god knows the devastation direct on the flesh......probably similar to an acide bath

Marginal gains...
