Naked Wheels and the Return of Lady God1va
June hails the advent of summer, of the summer holidays, at least in the northern half of our Earth. That's why it is also a popular time to start taking those clothes off and launch naturist and half-naked
events. One of those is the 6th edition of Natcon, starting today, as the most
popular naturist event in Asia, based in Thailand.
Not
purely naturist, but gaining popularity worldwide, is the World Naked Bike Ride,
with several locations around the world this Saturday, including London.
The
event is not just nudity for its own sake, it’s a protest against energy
overconsumption and against ‘car culture.’
As
to myself, I am a naturist and I love cars, visiting the Taipei Motor Show
every year. I have nothing against cars, but I am of course against people who
think they don’t have to respect other road users just because they drive a
car, a certain type or brand of car. All road users, including cyclists, should
respect the rules and the rights of other road users, especially the weakest
among us, the pedestrians.
In
the margin of the World Naked Bike Ride, it is nice to hear again from a
naturist activist, the British woman who used to be known as @ladygod1va and
whom I chose as my Real Naturist of the Year 2016. She was banned for life from
Twitter, even though there was no reason to do so. She has always been a true
naturist, even though on Twitter you find many fake naturists who post pictures
that have nothing to do with naturism, yet they never get banned.
You can find Lady God1va’s latest message at https://ladygod1va.wordpress.com/2017/06/04/london-wnbr-10-june-2017/
and the World Naked Bike Ride at http://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/
Each location seems to have its own
separate page with routes and times, so browse around online and get naked on wheels.
