Things you won't see downtown Castries...

Apparently on the 11th a veritable pile of melanin-challenged people participated in World Naked Bike Ride. They were protesting something or the other; just what that was currently escapes me. The important thing is that thousands of adult humans were riding around in nudie flagrante delicto and didn't get arrested. Awesome that. How, pray tell, could I, a news junkie, have missed such a singular event? This definitely calls for a sing-a-long. Let's try a song we all know and a good many hate, Born Free; but with a twist.

Ride Free
(With many apologies to Andy Williams)

Ride free, as free as the wind blows
Who needs any darned hose
Ride free, a breeze 'pon your parts

Live free, the asphalt surrounds you
That bike seat confounds true
Each time you ease off the bar

Swing free, no underwear binds you
Just show us your bare backside
No, it's too late for pride

Ride free, and have no misgivings
Life's only worth living
'cause you ride free

(Swing free, no underwear binds you)
Just show off that un-tanned hide
Ma'am, there's no need to chide

Ride free, and have no misgivings
Life's only worth living
'cause you ride free
