Weird Story of the Day

ESPN.com is repoting that the mayor of town in New Zealand wants to ban the 3rd annual nude bike race because the riders aren't wearing helments.

a few thoughts come to mind when I read a story like this.
1. Why is the mayor only concerned about helmets, what about knne and elbow pads? If you fall off your bike without clothing on you will skin your knees and elbows.

2. Nude bike racing doesn't sound even remotely attractive.

The ironic part of this whole story the point of the race it to promote safe cycling. This should accomplish the exact opposite of their goal. I can't think of a less safe way to be on a bike.
