Judge Frees Nude Cyclist To Ride Buff Once Again
Mark down another win for the good guys. In a court case that was being watched closely by nude enthusiasts around the world, a Portland judge has cleared Harry Potter look-a-like and nude cyclist Michael “Bobby” Hammond of any wrong-doing or illegal exposure of genitals. He will now be free to roam the expanse of the Pacific Northwest, peddling to and fro with his junk bobbling with every bump in the road. Yeah for America!
(Maybe the Invisibility Cloak will work next time.)
Hammond was arrested last July when he rode through the presumably hippy-infested Alberta Arts District in the buff, as a way to “make clear that nothing was powering his mode of transportation but his own unadulterated body.” There was probably a better way to make that point, but whatever. Police saw the move as less of a free speech issue and more of him just being a dick, so they locked him up.
In the end however, the judge threw the case out of court citing the old “it’s okay because everybody else is doing it” precedent.
