"Just The Naked Truth..."




And now this from the "AA" (Automobile Association, UK)...


In an effort to call attention to the hazards of not being mindful of cyclist sharing the road with motorist in the UK, The Automobile Association has released this public service announcement featuring a nude Olympic cyclist, Chris Boardman riding through the streets of London.   The program called "Think Bikes" is intended to help motorist remember to watch out for those on bicycles and motorcycles and so reduce the number of traffic incidents involving them.

I've always admired the fact that our British cousins (like most other Europeans) are far less prudish than we Americans.  Watch the award winning short film below for an entertaining example:

(Warning - This film contains full frontal nudity)


The naked truth about life, the universe and everything.
