Apprently some folks complained to the Seattle Parks Department about some bike riders they saw who were protesting something with their bike parade. Oh yeah....the bike riders were nude. Of course.

Seattle (and Portland) has a long tradition of nude bicyclists at demonstrations and parades. The nude bike riders in the Freemont Parade are widely renouwned and perhaps one of the most featured attractions in that celebration. Apparently, Portland has an annual event at which 1200+ nude bicyclists participate.

So....the parks department is mulling over a proposed ban on nudity in public parks. A hearing is scheduled at which there is expected to be very good attendance. I believe clothes are required at the hearing but you never know......

So, when was the last time you guys had a public nudity ban hearing?

Is nudity obscene? I mean.....lewdness is of course obscene, but is nudity automatically offensive or obscene? I mean.....as long as it's not Byron. Of course.
