Free Range Naturism / Re: Naked cycling

During the summer I managed a short spell of naked cycling - I had to drop my son off for a school trip early on a Sunday morning so rather than go back to bed I went out for a spin. For most of it I felt it necessary to wear clothes (although I only saw one or two cars) but for a few miles on back roads in the country I was nude. It felt great. Although it was a little chilly, I felt perfectly comfortable as long as I was working hard enough to stay warm. I could feel I was sweating but I still felt dry which was a little strange. The logical conclusion is that my body was able to work how it was "designed" to maintain the correct temperature. I think that clothes just confuse the body's natural systems.
As for lycra, I've never worn it, but surely the point of wicking the water away from the skin is that it can then evaporate from the surface of the material so that it behaves like a second skin. Being so tight fitting would help this too. If society won't let us go out in our own skin, then perhaps lycra is the next best thing.
