Naked riders: Art or ugly?
Trendingbike (a great new Dutch website about bikes) found this picture of World and Olympic track champion Victoria Pendleton. What do you think? Is this art or ugly?
EDIT: it’s a widespread virus – the naked rider thing. This is Rebecco Romero, and this is Greg van Avermaet and this one too

And of course, the most vain of them all: Pippo Pozzato in a Sidi ad
I love it! (except the pippo one, but only bc his skinny arms look disproportionate to his body!) I mean, isn’t what makes an athlete an athlete his/her muscles? and what better way to showcase what makes them great by showing them naked! I’ll admit my favorite part of a cyclist are his/her legs- i love the muscle definition. so i have no objection to athletes posing naked.
