SFist Tonight
Nudity and cycling clashed at yesterday's monthly Critical Mass. Plug1 of What I'm Seeing snapped these choice images, some of them drastically NSFW. (Warning: nudity)
Enjoy!

Last night's ride was, well, not the best I've done. The nudity was funny, though. It's funny seeing those kids, though - the one in the white shirt rode up behind me telling me that my calf tattoo was "legit". I have quite the gay voice... and as soon as I opened my mouth it was clear that the word "faggot" was screaming through his and his friends' heads. After my friend and I rode ahead the bashing began. Oh, youths....
Coincidentally last night some queer boys were thrown out a bar in the Inner Richmond. What's this town coming to!?
Funny, Greg. I suppose they talked about it all the way home to Pleasanton.
That one nude dude up top looks so, well, suicidal. Hey, if you're going to go against a pretty powerful social taboo like nudity on Market Street, do it for a reason. Do it to be happy, get kicks, shake people up, whatever, but have fun doing it, for sure.
I've said it a thousand times; it's always the people you least want to see naked in public who want you to see them naked in public.
You got my AMEN! on that!
Truth.
That said, the one chick isn't so bad looking.
See, I'm just thinking "it's close but not close enough to Burning Man."
But you know, all good wishes for getting some at BM...
I have been riding in critical mass for a few years now and I have to wonder if there is still reason to continue to do so. Now that San Francisco is vastly expanding their bike lane network I wonder what more could cyclists ask for. I know that the ride is a lot of fun, but for me it has always been about more access to the roads for cyclists. Does anyone else feel this way?
I suspect, like many (most?) of the movements in SF, Critical Mass is operating under its own inertia and most of the participants have no idea there is more to it than whatever thrill they get out of it.
