SPH & WNBR

[Phinchy23]

I've been told that I am to do at least one stage of the World Naked Bike Ride this year. Wife and her bull are going to drop me at the start venue ( one of the London ones) and will pick me up at the end. They intend to drop me early so everyone gets a good viewing, before the ride starts. They will take all my clothes with them, and I'll have been shaved before the event. Being a protest about oil / car use they are looking for suitable slogans to paint on my body - any ideas? I've seen photos of the events and mine won't be the only small penis on display, but I'm worried that friends & family may be in the crowd, and of the photos being taken. Has anyone any experience at these type of events , especially regarding SPH ?

I've now been given the details of my ride and having the fold up bike delivered I'm mortified... I've got to ride for around four and a half hours around London City centre, COMPLETELY NAKED appart from a pair of trainers. There is expected to be over 1000 cyclists and tens of thousands of spectators (most of them with cameras . It is good to be standing up to global issues, but it will not be easy. SPH beyond compare I think.
