Man thrown off Canterbury World Naked Bike Ride – for getting “overexcited”

I know its not 'the done thing' ... but who knew the nudist crowd were such prudes?

A man hoping to take taking part in the Canterbury leg of the World Naked Bike Ride

He must have been taking part in the third leg of the ride (Sorry I know, I'll get my coat).

"Man thrown off naked bike ride"

Could of been worse, imagine the public outrage if he had been tossed off. Though perhaps that might have been a happy ending.

I'll get my coat....

Dental visits are so much easier with road.cc !.
Now I've gotta stop laughing !

Can we have some analysis of the lateral stiffness vs vertical compliance?

The other half was disappointed that there wasn't a photo.

One assumes he was standing up to the cause more than others.

This will make me think twice when I next think of buying a second hand saddle on ebay; the current owner might be one of these arsechafed freaks.

Agree with the other posters - aren't the people who take part in events like this supposed to be all non judgemental and not wanting to look at other people in a sexualised manner? So an erection, if slightly embarrassing in an inappropriate situation, is (usually) involuntary. That's like taking offence because someone's nipples went erect or because someone broke wind, surely? If he wasn't - er - actively doing anything to put himself in that state, then I'm not sure how it's his fault. Last I checked, the limbic system was involuntary.

This has just been blown up out of all proportion (sorry). Perfectly normal physiological reaction to suddenly being out in the fresh air and someone gets thrown off a nude bike ride! Crazy..

I cracked a rib in a crash yesterday. I only mention it because the comments on here are making me laugh and it hurts like hell!

I wonder if he felt as stiff as I did this morning...

He should have parked behind one of the CTC fellas, that would have dropped it quicker than thinking of Katie Hopkins

Perhaps his bike was an old Boneshaker?

No SMIDSY for that fellow!

Probably just saw a Colnago C60 with Lightweight wheels and Campy SR EPS.

'Everyone was taking their clothes off to get ready for the ride.

Right, so he wasn't actually on his bike or riding round at that point, in fact, is there any confirmation he actually had a bike?

I heard gasps and I turned around – it was a horrible sight.

Really? Not the sort of attitude I'd expect from someone participating in a naked bike ride. I'm fairly certain these pride themselves on being non-judgemental events. If this is just some bloke who's got an ill timed stonk on it's a bit harsh.

The coppers seem to have had a word, he's put his kecks back and they've been happy to leave it at that. No real fuss or drama, the organiser's response however appear to make him seem like he's the one that is well, you can guess where that is heading...
The quotes could have been misrepresented or taken out of context though, but I'd expect a little less judgement.

It could be that this fella was indeed swinging his tallywhacker around with gleeful abandon, but in that situation I'd expect the coppers to be a bit more stern with their response. As it is, I just can't see the police turning down the opportunity to launch a raving sex case in to the back of a van. I think this is just something that's happened that is unfortunate and embarrassing but I don't think we need to worry about this becoming Sodom and Gomorrah just yet.

Strange reaction given that we're all on the planet thanks to an erect penis.

Must be an opportunity for sponsorship from whatever saddle manufacturer he uses as its clearly not inhibiting blood flow...

I wonder if it made him more aero, marginal gains and all that

Was he "taken in hand" by the police

I thought everyone knew it's a side effect of using Tiagra.

I tend to think that, when voluntarily in mixed-sex naked company, politeness requires tolerance of the occasional wayward boner.

Boners only mind. Tugging, frottage, leering, spaffing, waving it around etc. all clearly beyond the line...

Kind of a stiff punishment there..

Really though, isn't this just some sort of weird male body shaming going on? So much for being liberal.

What planet are some of you on, just because there are bikes involved doesn't mean you can go around in public naked, with an erection, try it without a bike and see what happens. He should have kept his pants on.

This dude should start a thread on here about whether he's broken the law

I came here for the comments (no pun intended); I was not disappointed :')

I think the word we're looking for is hypocrisy.

Sounds a bit hard on the guy This is why you won't catch me on a naked ride .Either something like this happens or you shrink to the size of a slug ,neither a good look lmao...plus your saddle will stink

That's terrible, he should have been bloody well hung!
