I Missed Philly's Naked Bike Ride

It was a busy weekend for cycling enthusiasts. Wout van Aert, the Belgian Beast, crushed the UCI world gravel cycling championship. He was 9 minutes ahead of the second place finisher. The Vuelta a Espana, a 1,950-mile bike race in 23 stages, has started in spite of torrential downpours and lightning. The 112-mile ride on Sunday had a 9,000' mountain. I rode 16 miles here with a 600' elevation and thought that was tough. But we all blew it. We missed Saturday's Naked Bike Ride in downtown Philly. That's a 13 mile trek that promotes cycling and body positivity. 

I think I'd have a tough time riding 100' without padded bike shorts. I think a lot of people are going to have sore posteriors today.

Naked bike riding. Definitely the brainwork of libtards.

This made me think of a rhyme from my childhood:

Mary had a little bike.
Her bike was made of glass.
Every time she hit a bump,
A piece went up her ...

Ahhh, "body positivity."

"Body positivity refers to the assertion that all people deserve to have a positive body image, regardless of how society and popular culture view ideal shape, size, and appearance."

In other words, an excuse fat people use to not take better care of themselves.

How many ophthalmologists have full schedules today treating people who tried to gauge their eyes out after witnessing this?

Leave it to a thoughtless tRump-worshipper to bring politics into this.

"an excuse fat people use to not take better care of themselves."
Yet plenty of Sumo wrestlers would disagree.
In American Samoa large women are the standard of beauty.
The world is a wide and varied tapestry of different sizes and shapes-- too bad some people
lack the knowledge of it.

Libtard, defined
A term used by the radical right to describe someone familiar with history, science, economics, world affairs, spelling and grammar.
And on a personal note,
You sound like you're 9 years old.

Bullshit! I’ve done PNBR twice. I love the message and am far from large and libtard. Just a bicycle-riding fun-loving gal who likes to thumb her nose at uptight folks…
