| me and the girl were downtown meeting some friends for dinner and walked right into this last night. Had no clue what was going on until we got up to the crowd and realized it was a bunch of naked people riding bikes... all we wanted to do was get to the train and we had to wait.. | |

| They say there were about 800 riders. It's as "bare-as-you-dare" so there were plenty in bathing suits / bikinis. Many women were merely topless or topless with some strategic stickers. No arrests were reported.
Good pictures here (they run horizontally on that site): Rich Mohr's Photos
The riders you see handing something to bystanders are passing out a small slip of paper that explains the purpose of the ride to the bewildered onlookers. As you can see not everyone was "modelesque" by any means.
Next ride is Saturday, June 13, 2009 so mark your calendars. Maybe there can be a CV group! | |

| Seriously, I'd hope people would at least wear underwear.
Some of those people were quite ballsy (no pun intended), IMO. Echoing BigGiantHead, definitely not modelesque. Actually, quite a few pics are funny (especially this guy *NWS*)

| See, I thought of that.
But would there be a point to DRIVE to a bike ride, whose objective is to protest the overuse of oil/gas?
Yeahh... | |

| You can go for the "Promoting Positive Body Image" part.
You have 10 months to get psyched up to ride in your undies or worse! | |
