Gettin' Dirty

Today's post is on everyone's favorite topic: public indecency. Okay, maybe not, but it always brings up a pretty funny memory.

I was riding on the Schuylkill path and suddenly a few younger women started taking off their clothes! Today's weather was sunny enough that a lot of people, including myself were wearing shorts and a tank top, but I wasn't at the level where I wanted to undress. After staring at them, I realized they had bathing suits on and were going to sun-bathe. It seems strange to me that just because she is wearing a bathing suit it's okay to lay in the sun with hundreds of commuters and families passing by. Perhaps I'm just a bit too shy for these situations.

The second incident was a little more awkward. A gentleman must have had a little bit too much water to drink and had to use the restroom. At Columbia Bridge, you are very far from an accessible bathroom. So he resorted to a more au-naturel approach and wizzed in the woods. Well, I was lucky enough to pass by for this exposure. I just smiled and peddled faster.
This leads me to my question, do you remember your first pee outside? I hope it won't be your last... it can be quite freeing!
