I hope nobody gets upset at me, I also love to ride with my shirt off. Partially because I have SAD and partially because the sun really energizes me and soaks into my soul.
When the sun's out , my shirt comes off,especially when I ride my bike. I need that sun like water.
I've tried to explain to neighbors and friends, and even apologize, but you cannot do that going down the bike lane on a heavily packed road.

That's great if it works for you to treat SAD. If I rode with my shirt off, my back would burn to a crisp, so I'm a little jealous you can do this.
