So I go for a bike ride yesterday in Madison...

It's a beautiful day, and about 5 miles in I am on the isthmus approaching Willy Street and I notice traffic is slowing and stopping. As I get to the intersection and stop I look at traffic to my left and surprisingly I see many naked bikers approaching:

People encouraged me to shed my clothes and join, though I politely declined.

there's not much separating the gonads from the unforgiving bicycle seat. Not unless one's wearing a ski suit, you know, thick insulated snow pants. But that's not really summer attire.

It's for this reason that bicycle rides, particularly longish ones, are not my favorite pastime.
