Bicycling Nudists
Peopel that love to ride bicycles, nude,or otherwise. I would be nice to have a meet somewheres and ride for 10-100 miles on a given weekend. Such as a rails to trails conversion, or a segmetn of a highwa, such as teh Natchez Trace. OR meet up at a nudist resort, adn bring our bikes!

Anyone ride a fat bike?
Return to DiscussionsThese things are the monster trucks of the bicycle world and an absolute blast to ride. Talk about miles of smiles.Even though I got mine near the end of winter I was able to get out and get enjoy the fresh albeit cold air.I plan on taking it to Gunnison Beach and do some nude riding.
Also, I'm having an itch to maybe next time I'm in Florida to ride it between Apollo and Playalinda beaches. Looks like about 13 miles of beach according to Google Earth. Not sure I would do it alone just for safety's sake and would need a backcountry permit but it looks like the entire ride could be done nude. I've done over 20 miles on snow on one ride so 13 miles of warm sunny beach would be a breeze. Anyone possibly up to this in the future?my blog: stayfitridefat.blogspot.com
I want a Surly Wednesday. They retail for $1499.
It is a new model but, no one seems to have my size in stock
anywhere, Canada or USA. It is a 20 Speed with a 4130 CroMoly
steel frame. I wanted it mainly for off road bike touring so
I want to avoid anything that is carbon or aluminum. Also a
lot of the weight in a fat bike is due to the 80 - 100 mm
rims and tires. I believe it negates the reasons for
buying an expensive titanium or carbon frame. The bike
is set up to add fenders and front and rear racks for touring
which I think is very important. I have already cycled from
Bellingham to Tijuana with my Surly Long Haul Trucker road bike and
it is time for a change with a planned 80 mile Fat Bike beach
ride!
I see a 26", 7speed, 40lb, fat bike at Academy Sports for $220. That's a little heavy but seems to me to be not all that bad for the price. My concern would be how long it can hold up against salt water before it completely rusts away. I can justify $220 every few years easier than $2200. Does anyone know how long one of these will last with regular use at the waterline?
I couldn't wait any longer for the Wednesday and bought a Surly Moonlander for $1199 from Universal Cycles in Portland. It was a 2015 Surly blowout price. I was very surprised how light it is including the 124TPI tires. It is very fun to ride and I can't wait to use it on the beach and in the snow.
