And ummm....some clothes. I'm a lot more inclined to think a group isn't nuts when the people they put on their posters aren't naked.

How do I express my casual disgust for the cheapening of something I thoroughly enjoy via the employment of a naked androgenous dude in Chuck Taylors...?
We don't need naked androgeny to get people on bicycles!

Lame...

Well, at least they have nothing to hide.

They're just letting all hang out.

Yeah, i guess when you haven't seen or touched a naked woman for so many years you forget what they look like.

If that's a woman, her breasts have been airbrushed off.

Or if I'm wrong, then it's been longer than I thought since I had a reference...

My original point still stands, btw. If you're in it for the nudity, perhaps you should fine another more rewarding hobby.

I don't see a problem here. Heck, it may even get drivers to slow down.

Dude seriously. That is a lame poster. Great idea. But that poster is not going to attract anybody other than the "your body is beautiful, don't be ashamed of it man" hippy crowd.

The only thing lame in this thread is the puritanical approach to the human body.

C'mon, if this doesn't make you want to ride more, nothing will.

At least she has proper shoes and pedals. The first one has a fixed gear w/ a front brake and no foot retention. And her/his saddle is too low.

Nudity is cool. Puritans can go piss up a rope.

I preferred the first one. Carrying a little less weight, and androgyny does it for me.

Every one picks on the Puritans. No one thanks them for getting off on Thanksgiving.

I suppose that you would need some Phil Wood Tenacious Oil to keep the parts moving.

I'm not telling what my position is

Is that a woman? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, don't drag queens use careful selection of clothing, hair style, and makeup to work their illusion? This model seems to be rather effective using mostly natural physique.

That bike makes me want to ride more. But not before I wash the danged saddle!!!
The girl? Dude, she's built like a guy. Look at the muscle structure.

Edit to add:
It's not puritanical to have sense of decency and appropriateness about our bodies. There is no shame in them and nothing wrong with them. But that doesn't mean everybody has to see it. Some things are private and are better left reserved for those we love and with whom we want to be intimate.

That's much better. At least she has some muscle on her; looks like she could drop me. Skinny bone-bags are not attractive. IMHO of course.
