A binman was caught on camera punching a naked man who was cycling in a charity event after mistaking him for a pervert. Video footage of the attack showed the victim pedalling along a residential street in Colchester, Essex, when Lee Turnage rode up alongside him on a motorbike on Aug 9. The cyclist, who was taking part in a World Naked Bike Ride event, was then punched by Turnage, causing him to fall to the pavement. Turnage, 46, of Colchester, was sentenced to 14 months in prison, suspended for two years, earlier this month.

Steven Dyble, mitigating, told Ipswich Crown Court that Turnage had “encountered a number of middle-aged men cycling in the nude”. He added: “That is not to the defendant’s taste, but he reacted very badly to what he thought of – to use the vernacular – as perverts cycling naked in what was a residential area.” Prosecutor Charles Judge said Turnage, who was riding an uninsured motorbike, had turned around and gone back to commit the assault.

In a victim impact statement, the cyclist said he had been struggling to sleep since the incident because of pain from a leg wound he suffered in the attack. He added: “The injuries sustained have impacted me greatly, especially in regard to my mobility. I am more reliant on a stick and putting more weight through it because of the pain.

“My leg remains swollen to this day, meaning I need to keep it elevated as much as possible. Some days it feels like that pain will never end.” Turnage was later found with a knife and attacked two police officers when they tried to arrest him outside a nearby pub. One of the officers was wounded in the ear, requiring medical treatment. He admitted one charge each of dangerous driving, driving without insurance, criminal damage, and assaulting a police officer. He also admitted two charges of actual bodily harm.

Turnage, who works part-time as a binman for Colchester council, was also ordered to carry out 15 rehabilitation days, 75 hours of unpaid work and pay £2,000 in compensation to the cyclist. He also had his licence revoked and was ordered to pay a £200 fine.

Call me autistic but I feel like there is a double standard between the nude charity cyclists being fine and the flasher in this other article from yesterday being a source of trauma.

Culture Thread 'Sri Lankan man arrested after exposing himself to influencer: ‘Reality of solo travel as a woman’'

1763698149158.png

A New Zealand woman has spoken out after her horrifying experience while traveling went viral.

Molly, who goes by molsgonewild online, left a chill down every woman’s spine over the weekend after sharing an interaction with a local man during her solo trip across Sri Lanka.

“I debated sharing this – but this is the reality of solo travel as a woman,” she wrote to her Instagram followers.

“During my solo tuk-tuk road trip across Sri Lanka, a man...

I guess the intent paired with the act matters more than the act itself? Stated intent, of course. I suspect some nude cyclists may have ulterior motives.

If you're riding down the street on a bike naked you're a fucking pervert. That isn't something a normal person does, let alone for 'charity.' Thats literal indecent exposure at best. No legitimate charity thinks its a smart idea to raise money by having some guy ride around naked. Thats pedo and creep behavior and will only attract those types of people, who if anything will deliberately sign on to such things to use to deflect from their creepy behavior when somebody gets pissed off or the cops try to bust them. Did this creep go past a few schools during his 'charity ride' by any chance?

Why does it even have to be naked? Like there's so many alternatives that don't involve indecent exposure.
I bet if you looked into the organisers and their funding you'll find several LGBT and libshit advocacy groups
 
whatever I feel like said:
Its because defendant was a dumb fucking cunt from start (riding uninsured bike) to finish (assualting police officers,) to say nothing of attacking the bike rider in the middle. Mr. 7th Chance here certainly deserved a lot more than 14 months.

Attention. That’s all it’s about. Charity is a side quest. This is all about getting attention, getting off on that attention, getting off on people being shocked and annoyed and feeling like they can’t do anything to stop it.

It’s in the U.K., ffs. It’s rarely warm enough to do anything naked, especially outdoors. There’s no reason other than deliberate indecent exposure.
 
The posters ITT would be aghast to learn of the extend of the World Naked Bike Ride (which has been around for 2 decades plus at this point), so here you go

edit: extend, not existence

"Hey guys. I have a great idea! Let's all get together and jerk off in public...for charity! Think of how much money we can raise! People will pay us to jerk off downtown!"

I mean, you can go naked in many US cities too. I am sure if the feds wanted to they could make it a thing but they didn’t do shit when those Portland protesters did their naked bike shenanigans so I guess they don’t care either.

Is it legal to be naked in public?​

It depends on the laws of the country that individual rides take place in. Public nudity is often more acceptable than you'd think, so long as the behaviour of the naked people in question isn't lewd, aggressive or violent. For countries with stricter laws, the ride is "as bare as you dare" – full nudity is not mandatory! Even if the local law prohibits nudity, police typically won't take action to cite/arrest riders participating in a large group ride - safety in numbers!

"its okay to break the law and be sexual perverts in a massive groups because the cops can't stop us all"

Never heard of it. Let's look it up.
Every year, in cities around the world, people ride bikes naked to celebrate cycling and the human body.

The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and is a protest against car culture.

Yeah, this guy deserves a beating simply for supporting a charity like this.
 
"I did expose myself to kids, but it's for charity". Is that the new "it's a prank, bro?"
 
I'm more surprised he needed a reason to deck a cyclist.

In honesty, I've done daft shit for charity in the past, but nowhere near as nuts as going stark naked or the like. Surprised to read it's legal to be naked in public.
