In this episode of Naked Age we meet Jérôme Jolibois, a Belgian naturist and avid cyclist whose naked bike activism paved the lane for him to become the first open naturist elected to the Brussels Town Hall. Plus we explore the convergence of two movements: Nude Activism and Bicycle Activism, and the spark that led to the World Naked Bike Ride.
