I guess she distracted him from his next turn to the doughnut shop. :thwap Could be a publicity stunt I suppose, but really.

I guess it's a crackdown.

This plays right into the discussion we've been having about Robert's question of violence & nudity on television.
It seems another example of the message being sent to women that their bodies are automatically seen as sex objects.

Unbelieveable!!! So, if the story IS true......with the outfit she was wearing....you can walk around NYC at this time of year and see a lot less that than on many women on a daily basis. So, are they going to arrest THEM ALL and use Yankee Stadium as a big holding tank until they process all the arrestees?

In fact, the article regarding the topless woman in NY I referenced in that discussion was linked on my friend's FB page, after he posted a link to this story. All kind of silly, really. I would not choose to walk around any city topless myself. But that says nothing about the right of a member of either gender to do so.

If more people could live by that principle imagine how much needless strife could be avoided.
Unfortunately too many people employ the "I wouldn't do it and thus neither should anyone else" approach.

That said, she has nothing on competitive cyclist Liz Hatch.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Yeah, I would say not. For a different look, who was that competitive female downhiller a few years back who was pictured on the covers of magazines in her bike gear with all her tatoos?

 

[Spudman]

Criminy! Male cyclists show more skin than that when they suit up and ride. How utterly ridiculous she got pulled over. It had to be for some other ulterior motive.

Hmmmm.....look at Pic #3 posted above. Question for you competitive cyclists.....ah.....hmmm.....well....isn't her exposed decolletage anti-aerodynamic?.....and isn't the IDEA of cycling/swimming to be as streamlined as possible to go the fastest? Shouldn't she be "zipped up" to go fastest.......cause, ya know, she's got some serious wind-drag slowing her down. lolol

Ah yes.......isn't it great to back in 3rd grade again?

I laughed at all the anti-islamic type comments posted under the article. Take a deep breath netizens!! This is almost certainly viral marketing to promote the event she is in NY to attend.

Paragraph 6. "As general manager of a Dutch bicycle company, Rijcken was in New York to attend the New Amsterdam Bike Show"

No names for the cop, no pix of the incident, no ticket, etc. Smells like viral to me.....

Also, I'm not as hard core a rider as many of you, but I did find the outfit she was photographed in a little unusual for a hard core cycle enthusiast. I mean check out those boots, and where is her helmet! That's a fine for sure here in Aus.

The lady right behind her is similarly unzipped if you look carefully (and I did look carefully). I'm thinking it was a hot day and they needed the ventilation.

Watch the Tour of Switzerland on Versus. It ends Saturday or Sunday. Those guys unzip their jerseys all the way. It's because there is so much blood circulating and the torso has tons of capillaries and is exposed to the breeze. Those lovely mamaries have even more capillaries so it's an excellent way to cool off...and I'm all for it.:drool
