Are you all joining in with the campaign?
I agree with this statement - I would add more but can't seem to be able put it politely.No.
I think it is very crass and degrading to the sport. I fail to see how getting your tits out on the internet is going to generate any respect for us as a group or a road user.
You have the wrong idea. No body can see anything. It's already proving useful.

Our RC had a charity bra-ride a few years ago for Breast Cancer charities, we all wore bras over our normal riding clothes. One member almost caused an accident with her beige bra with rolling eyes! An elderly driver coming down the narrow road towards us stalled his car! We were quite concerned for his health and as the member concerned was the only medical professional in our group, it was a good job he didn't actually need 1st aid. I think her ministrations could only have made the matter worse.
Surely it's no different/worse than those calendars with a bunch of naked 'horsey' men on them posing with bales of straw to raise money for horse charities?
That's raising money for charity, likely to be bought by horsey people really.
I still fail to see the relevance of getting partially naked in a bid to slow other road users down?
Horse and country TV have picked it up, hopefully as its on twitter to, somewhere else will I'm doing my pics this eve.
It can't be proving that useful, this is the first I've heard of it!

What's needed is short, hard-hitting, graphic, prime time TV adverts and an in-depth section on passing horses lawfully incorporated into the driving instruction and test.
We have found that riding in fancy dress tends to cause the traffic to slow down. As we usually hold our fd rides near Christmas, we have MORE clothes on than normal in an attempt to keep warm.
IME other than fd, the best way of slowing the traffic is to wear plenty of hi-viz.
It's a long time since this forum made me howl with laughter; thank you!

More tea over keyboard, thank you!I think it's ridiculous, and rather trivialising an important issue whilst making huge assumptions about the car drivers. And frankly it's dangerous to ride without a sports bra on anyway .
