World Naked Bike Ride - Part 43

London and Amsterdam 2017

This guy was in the London WNBR on June 10, 2017.  Maybe it was his spiky hair that I noticed.

I wasn't the only one who noticed him, as evidenced by this guy taking his picture.

Here he is pedaling along on his bike.

But a few weeks later, he also turned up at the Amsterdam WNBR on July 1, 2017.  Instead of a bike, he was riding a "footbike," which seems to be a cross between a scooter and a bicycle.

Here he is (at right) with a bunch of other riders in Amsterdam's Park Frankendael before the ride.

And they're off!

He's sporting a slogan on his back: "Use your brain, use your body."

The ride pauses outside the Athenaeum Boekhandel (bookstore), and he climbs up, the better to see and be seen.

This clip from a video of the 2017 Amsterdam WNBR shows our spiky-haired friend riding along on his scooter.

We end with a video clip of him (at center) jumping for joy along with two other guys.

"Footbikes" with equal sized wheels are popular with Pennsylvania Dutch (Deutsch) Amish Children.

Those WNBR events are such a hoot to ride in. For days afterward, as you ride your bike along normal routes, you feel like you are still in a parade with an irresistible urge to ring your bell & wave at everybody.

I often wonder if guys highlighted like this on different websites, ever find their way here to see these posts. At times I catch a glimpses of myself and friends paging through WNBR pictures from the Solstice Parade here in Seattle, Pride Parade, and other events. It's always a pleasant surprise when that happens.

I read your blog every day from shortly after you started it. Thanks for all your hard work. It is really well done!

@Anon - If you send a photo (or photos) of you in the Solstice Parade to me privately at unashamedmale@gmail.com, and point out which one is you, I would be happy to feature you (anonymously, if you wish) in a future post. My next Solstice post won't be until next June, but depending on your paint job I might be able to include you in a post before then. -Larry
