That’s pretty funny! I suppose I have the first amendment right to smear Mr. Johnson on the windows of Subway too.

I think its bullshit that women have to cover up just because their bodies are sexualized in our society. I’m not too into that hippie-dippy, run everywhere naked for the sake of it shit personally, but if guys are allowed to bike around topless, I don’t really see a good reason why women shouldn’t be allowed either. It’s been getting somewhat hot in Seattle too, so this makes this law all that more impractical and out-dated.
I am fine with girls riding bikes without clothes.
