Summary
A 64-year-old grandmother from Kerry is ready to ride naked through Cork city this Saturday for the World Naked Bike Ride — and she’s not just doing it for the thrill. Elayne Van Keulen, mom of six and grandma to fourteen, has been part of the movement for a decade, inspired by her husband and her own need to shake up life after turning fifty. She’s embraced her body, gotten tattoos and piercings, and found a vibrant, accepting community. Her grandchildren are stunned — but Elayne sees her body as a story, and the ride as a celebration of freedom, confidence, and connection. The event welcomes all shapes and sizes, even asking for volunteers to help paint and steward. This isn’t just a ride — it’s a bold, joyful rebellion against age limits and societal norms.
