all power to them but I'll never understand the urge to rest your bare taint on a tiny saddle while your balls slosh back and forth. that sounds awful in private. in public just sounds like a humiliation ritual.

to all of you that enjoy this, I respect your right to do it but hot dammnnn.

there are a lot of choices for seats.

the WNBR often hands out seat covers [branded]

I did a nude 5K once, it actually wasn't bad in that department. I can imagine that nude bike riding is along those lines: harder to imagine than it actually is.

After all, mammals have been running long before underwear was invented.

Edit: I just sat on my bicycle in my garage, and I don't see it being an issue. Try it out, although research nude etiquette, laws, and places to go first :-)

...can I ask why?

It feels great: the sun, the air, no materials rubbing against your skin, not worrying about clothes getting dirty, sweaty, or wet (at least try skinny-dipping when no one else is around!)

It also takes enjoying nature while hiking, to another level.

in alaska, we have 7 or 8 months of wintery temperatures, so we get as much sunlight as we can when its out, or consume heavily vitamin D supplemented staple foods.

its a curious state of affairs here. public nudity is illegal, but privacy is prime, and you can live your life nude on private property as long as no one complains.

this is one of those laws that are a schism, commonle people dont care, or get a PMSL, as long as your not lewd, or harrasing kids, and most importantly, how do you conduct yourself when somone says you are causing discomfort.

It's always very fun to run into one of these serendipitously.

next is very soon for SF

..and remember, this isnt a gooning, its a political outing, supposed to be protected by free speech as long as you realize social rules dont disappear along with the textile.
