Quite possibly.
Someone once wrote that if many of the venerated saints of old turned up now, they would be classed as mentally disturbed.

If you can convince enough other folk, quite possibly with their own issues, you're in the clear/good to go.

People who drive into/at etc cyclists are violent whosits who deserve to end up in jail.

Naked cyclists I’m relaxed about- even for those who find them mildly offensive it’s hardly a big deal.

Unless you are directly behind one going up a steep climb that entails getting out of the saddle ...

Agreed!
What is it with people who think they're justified doing such a thing?

I would imagine the cars occupants were a couple of overweight, underworked self entitled knobs.

Let's hope the punishment fits the crime.

Why?

People riding bikes are often subjected to stereotyping by other people without any evidence. It doesn't help then and it doesn't help here. It never helps.

I'm disappointed that this fellow claims to be cycling "naked" when I can clearly see he is wearing socks, and a hat.

I've just read this link, that's absolutely awful. I fully support anyone's right to cycle naked if they want to. I'm glad to see they caught the driver of the car and that he/she gets sent down for long enough to learn their lesson.

PS On a lighter note, cycling naked....doesn't it chafe somewhat? In sensitive parts? If you get my drift? :D

I think you mean chafe.
