Naked bike rides that celebrate the human body
By Steven Skelley and Thomas Routzong
Actor Kevin Bacon said, "There's something therapeutic about nudity. Take away the Gucci or Levis and we are all the same." Since 2004, tens of thousands of men and women around the world have been enjoying the therapeutic qualities of nude bicycling in an event called the World Naked Bike Ride.
From Canada to Australia and everywhere in between, people gather together, shed their clothes and bicycle unashamed through the streets of cities filled with curious onlookers. The World Naked Bike Ride has been called "the world's largest naked event promoting cycling in the history of humanity."
According to the World Naked Bike Ride website, "We have many great reasons to be celebrating, with all the glory of naked two-wheel sanity. It's time to join hundreds of naked compatriots in a free, non-sexual, fun bike ride! All are welcome! From the shy to the bold. Cyclists, rollerbladers, rollerskaters, skate boarders. All ages, sizes, and colors welcome. Bring your family and your co-workers!"
Worried about what to wear or not to wear? No problem! What to wear? The World Naked Bike Ride dress code is "As Bare As You Dare." You alone decide what you are comfortable with. and no one is excluded or discriminated against. The goal is "to get people to laugh and smile is a great way to connect and share ideas in a non-threatening way."
