TALLAHASSSEE, FL -- Few people will argue that bicycling is a great form of exercise.  But Richard Irby of Tallahassee likes to kick it up a notch by peddling around town wearing only a thong.

Irby, who's well known around the State Capitol as 'Speedo Man,' apparently felt a little overdressed in his skimpy bottom-wear.

The 6-foot-3, 220 pound free wheeler recently presented several eyewitnesses with a sneak peek of something they didn't want to see.

While a 55-year-old man in a Speedo is not illegal, officers agreed with the witnesses' point of view. 

They gave Speedo Man a police escort to the Leon County pokey for displaying way too much of himself. 

Just how much Speedo Man chose to share with others isn't detailed in the official report.
