Description

World Naked Bike Ride (since 2004). Yearly. Gathering and body painting from 6p. Departure at 9p.
Massive bike and skate event celebrating the end of the oil era, and promoting positive body image. Held globally with dozens of cities participating, and Chicago routinely setting U.S. turnout records.
This is a bare-as-you-dare event with outfits ranging from body paint to fanciful costumes to beach-wear. Chicago's past rides rallied many hundreds of cyclists and numerous skaters covering over a dozen miles of high visibility city tourism and recreation areas. The ride's atmosphere is extremely joyful and transcendently fun.
Bicycles constitute the best solution to reducing America's petroleum addiction and improving public health. With gas prices skyrocketing and obesity an epidemic, our messages have become truisms.

Comment by Shay on June 7, 2010 at 10:04am: Is anybody else having trouble deciding how much to bare?

I just heard this weekend that photos are taken and posted online...I would hate for students I work with or my mother to be perusing the web one day and find photos of me naked or scantily clad.

Then again, it seems silly to attend the Naked Bike Ride fully clothed.

Decisions, decisions....
