Dear friend, who keeps on smugly reminding me how much fun you had at the naked bike ride. Please stop asking me why I didn’t go. First of all you live less than 3 miles from work yet you get in your car everyday to get there. I commute to work everyday except maybe 3 or 4 weeks in the dead of winter. You now consider yourself a bicycle activist? Are you kidding me?! You are nothing more than an attention seeking, pitiful, narcissus. Let me remind you that the few times I offered to take you on rides I have to wait for your lazy ass to catch up. If I have to hear that story about that guy whistling at you and complimenting your tits one more time. The people that watch are drunk and whistling at everyone not just you. I don’t participate because it’s lazy, gross and dangerous. You are such a sad pathetic person, not just you, but all of them seeking validation in this way. You make a mockery of a real form of transportation that can change the way we live for the better. Plus, it’s bad enough I can see your fat ankles. No one should have to see that cellulite covered ass. If you’re going to be this self absorbed try not bragging about it. You’re embarrassing yourself and the people you tell. We’re laughing at you not with you. -Anonymous

  1. Wow, some fucking friend you are. Are you so damn insecure that you have to judge all the people around you to make yourself feel better? To feel more evolved in some way? Pfft…

  2. lol, “Narcissus 1] is a genus of mainly hardy, mostly spring-flowering, bulbs in the Amaryllis family, subfamily Amaryllidoideae, native to Europe, North Africa, and …” (wiki).

  3. To be fair, Narcissus is also the name of the man in Greek mythology that fell in love with his own reflection in a pond.

    Nonetheless, AI, I understand being annoyed by people. People are dumb. But I seriously doubt that you know the reason that every naked bike-rider decided to participate in the event. Let go of the hate and negativity, and try not to let the things that bother you get to you so much.

  4. Very true Kay-b, there are people that probably fit the image anon painted, but hundreds of people participated so I doubt anyone can assume why all of them do this. I will point out that probably 35% of Americans are overweight so I understand why some people don’t want to witness this. Trust me, I’ve seen it. Yikes.

  5. Yes but if people don’t want to watch, they don’t have to. I am not attracted to largely overweight people, but I don’t have much of a problem seeing naked large people on bikes. I embrace all forms of free entertainment!

  6. HEY, someone is finally complaining post-naked bike ride (NBD). Took long enough. Usually, folks don’t wait until Monday to start the obligatory bitching and whining about NBR.

    Unless this IA was first submitted yesterday and it was just only published today. In which case, MERC, WHAT TOOK SOO LONG?

  7. True, kay_b, and if Anon had capitalized “narcissus” I’d have thought they were clever. Instead I’m rather sure they don’t know how to spell “narcissist.”

  8. damn women are vicious toward each other :/ you must be incredibly insecure about your body to get this hostile over your friend enjoying that bike ride yo

  9. I was invited by a couple of friends to participate and I thought it sounded like fun, but decided that it wasn’t for me. I actually thought it sounds like a sweet positive Portland event. Boy, was I shocked when I was leaving a bar with friends on Belmont to see that it is anything but fun. There is this strange mix of creepy old men with their shorts on, frat boys (yelling at everyone to show them your tits) and the typical hipsters. Not really fun and certainly not positive. Many of the young frat douche types were saying mean things about young women’s bodies. It seemed more like an event for Las Vegas not Portland. It made my friends and I feel depressed.

  10. @16, it started out innocently enough several years ago…you are going to attract a certain crowd when something grows, cities change and it is heavily advertised
