Sweet zombie Jesus! I'm glad I'm leaving town for the weekend, because the last thing I want to see is the residents of this area naked. I mean, we're called "Hollywood for Ugly People" for a reason. Hippies. Lack of shaving. Patchouli deodorant. 80+ degree weather. Biking. *shudders* I'm going to break into my special flask right now to get that image out of my mind. ~EEE~

Hmmmm. Unprotected buttcrack and bicycle seats. Not the best combination... Remind me never to borrow a bike from one of these people.

i agree . . . a bit NSFW. i had four people having a meeting behind me while i popped open DCist for my fifteen minutes of lunch-at-the-desk. thankfully i read a story about this in the express this morning, so i knew what the photo could be about. remind me to stay indoors until the ride is over.

@ IMgoph: I'm well aware of the fact that the prudish nature of America runs full-bore here in DC. But that shot doesn't really fall under most NSFW standards - it's borderline, for sure, but there's nothing that's legally off the chart at most workplaces. I'm just glad they chose an appropriately cheeky photo for the post!

Hannah Montana nearly lost her job for showing less skin. What is your game here DCist?

Everyone who was complaining about spandex bike shorts, now you know to count your blessings.

Don't use the internet if you're afraid of seeing a little ass. So will I be the only one there in a trenchcoat?

Yep! Nothing draws attention to oil dependency and the negative social and environmental impacts of a car dominated culture like a naked body.

bullshit, songfta. i'm not a prude, but the IS and HR folks at a lot of places around this town are.

You like that side boob? Well, you're sick, 'cause that's my side boob.

There is nothing NSFW about the picture, Rukasu

I have problems riding a bike even with clothes trying to find a good position for my [very normally sized] genitals. And these yahoos do this naked?

You just know it's not going to be the attractive and fit people who are naked. In other words, people like me. And there's no reason anyone should see anyone like me naked on a bike. I mean, won't anyone think of the children?!?!?!

The website for this event states that all you have to wear is a bike helmet and a small sack to cover your genitals. You mean, I have to wear a sack to cover my sack?!?! It brings new meaning to double bagging your goods.

NSFW warning please!

i love how that lady on the stairs is serenely zooming in on the whole scene. i'm guessing she had the most well-attended post vacay slide show in the neighborhood after that.

We know what a great sense of humor the park police has when it comes to "statements", eh?
