I've thought about that and can definitely see your point. I don't think I'd ride very far, just enough to feel like it's been done.
I've ridden my bicycle several times for several miles each time. It was a great feeling and I'd do it more often if it was socially and legally acceptable. I have a great seat and the breeze created by the ride is very refreshing.

That's about all I did nude. The discomfort was more when riding in short running shorts or a swim brief, but nude would have the same effect.
Minimalist75, you have posted about chaffing when riding in running shorts or a swim brief and feel that riding nude would be the same.
Like you, I have ridden my bike wearing just a pair of light running shorts with the lining removed as well as a speedo and yes I did experience some discomfort from chaffing.
I have also ridden many miles through the streets of Los Angeles completely nude as part of the last ten World Naked Bike Ride events.
Surprisingly, I never experienced any chaffing issue when nude. In fact I find it is the most comfortable way to ride.
I know the type of seat can make a big difference. You may want to try a different style seat or use a seat cover.
I used to have a sheep skin cover which was great, but lost it when my bike was stolen.
I have not been able to find a good replacement.
Currently I use a gel seat cover which does help some with saddle soreness on longer rides.

Do you only ride nude for the World Naked Bike Ride? If so, it might not be often enough to make it uncomfortable
