When she first mentioned it, it sounded like a bit of a laugh... A load of people getting their kit of and riding around London for some jokes and to raise awareness for a good cause.
Wait, it's supposed to raise awareness for something? It's doing a terrible job. I just assumed it was hippies being hippies.
I did one of the London naked bike rides and found it a thoroughly awkward affair. I was talked into it by a beautiful female friend and we were supposed to be riding as a group including her fiancé. When I showed up on the day everyone else had bailed and it was just her and me. We were constantly surrounded by a group of leering men and literally tens of old men came up asking to have their photo taken with her, or even people pushing past to ride ahead of us at traffic lights and turning back to take photos of her.

I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised but FAR too many of the participants seemed to only be there to seek out and gawk at women. Pity.
