Freemont Summer Solstice Day Festival

Freemont (a Seattle neighborhood) celebrated its 35th Summer Solstice festival. I did not attend, but have in the past.

It's often cloudy and drizzly. This was not the case this year. It was sunny and in the mid 70s.

For those who do not what that is, they've got entertainment, food booths, art, etc.

And of course, the naked bicycle ride. Seattle police provides protection and prevents harassment and right to be fully naked.

I was wondering what participants in the naked bike parade do on sunny days. They typically paint their bodies observing certain themes, for instance the Bees use body paint to resemble bees (one time, one of the group's participants, ran over to me, and asked me if I could take some pics of her and her mom, and send them. I remember once an SW'er posted some of her shots, and I asked if she wanted me to post some more nudes of her :-)

But I digress, what happens when they need to rub more sun protection on their "parts?" and they're riding in public?

What’s the relevance of riding the bike naked? Is it a cultural tradition for the summer solstice?

Freemont is a stranger neighborhood. I think it started out as a defiant stand against the remnants of the conservative Seattle of the past, and a celebration of the Seattle that emerged from the new blood, fueled by the technology explosion.

So this was the first pride parade, but today it's more of a celebration of diversity.

Pull over and redo it. That is more or less what most do even in bikini's.

Same on nudist beaches BTW. Which I have been to a few. It's done quickly, no lingering.

There is a code of ethics, even on nudist beaches. Some have even been banned, for not following the ethics code.
