Two friends are causing a stir completing a six-day tandem bike ride completely naked. Neil Cox, 36, and his friend, J Antic, 25, set off on Saturday on a naked 260-mile journey from Gloucester to Land’s End, Cornwall.

The pair are both naturists - meaning they like to spend time in the nude - and wanted to see some natural beauty across the south west of England. Neil and J have cycled naked through Gloucester to Bristol, taken a trip to the Mendips and stopped off in Glastonbury.

The pair have spent some nights camping and others in hotels or B&Bs, and even took some nude trips out shopping or to drink in bars while on their journey. Now in Cornwall, they’re on the last leg of their cycle - and say the response to them so far has been “overwhelmingly positive”.

"People on social media always have opinions - but we haven’t had many negative reactions. People in Glastonbury were overwhelmingly positive, it was a bit overwhelming. In Bristol people had a casual indifference, but that’s what we want to be the case really.

“Wherever we go, people do look over - I think some are just bemused about seeing two people on a tandem. So they find it even funnier to see two naked people on a tandem.”

    I just wonder how bad it must feel to sit on a bike seat naked.

      It gets sticky and sweaty.

        And it digs into your ass more than with pants on I assume. Cycling pants have additional pafding for a reason

      That was my first thought as well. Must be miserably uncomfortable.
