  Ok, I just want to know, what does being NAKED have to do with it? Does wearing CLOTHES cause some kind of enviromental waste now?

  It's just a gimmick to get your attention. And it worked. You read the article... :)

  Being naked is also symbolic of the dangers of cycling in a car-centric society. People in cars are in a two ton cage, where cyclists are naked to the whims of inattentive or dangerous drivers no matter what we wear. It's too bad the author of this article did not do enough research and point out that that is one of the main reasons of the WNBR.

  MOST COUNTER PRODUCTIVE & DEVIANT!! Riding naked is an embarrassment to other self respecting bicycle commuters on a tight budget who want to decrease toxic emmissions & lower our dependance on oil from risky countries!! We want to give earth friendly forms of transportation a certain amount of respectability & pride be it commuting to work, school, shopping or visiting friends! Grow Up!! Show some self respect! While commuting, you can search online for T shirts & drink bottles expressing BENEFITS of cycling, etc!

  Is anyone else amused by how negative bpositiv2's comment was?

  Yeah, bpositive2 is not really all that positive. I absolutely agree with him about commuting and the t-shirts and bottles. I own all kind of cycling propaganda. Though, something like the WNBR gets a whole lot more attention than one guy with a t-shirt. It show the world that their is a whole population of people who use bikes as transportation, especially the kooks who get their nuts in knot when there are naked people around. When did the naked human form become deviant? If anything we have far more self-respect.

  I was trying to post the following comment on the article about the s s code being cracked and was then forbidden to post. Now I am posting here as a test. In answer to knthart, I would never want my email address linked to SS or the government. It's enough that our driver's licenses, passports, etc. are all linked. That alone could be a way to verify or create ID theft. But I do like the idea of adding our own PIN. Also, beware of scare tactics that are designed to get you to give away your power, privacy and freedom in the hopes that the government will "protect" you.
