'Nude isn't lewd': World Naked Bike Ride returns to Madison this June

The 12-mile ride is a protest against oil dependency — and a statement that every body has a place in public.

MADISON, Wis. -- Whether you love it, hate it or just tolerate it, the World Naked Bike Ride will return to Madison later this month.

Organizers said the ride will begin at 11 a.m. on June 20. Madison is one of dozens of cities holding a ride worldwide. Organizers expect 160-200 people to join this year's event.

The annual ride serves as a protest against oil dependency as well as a celebration of nature and body positivity.

You don't have to take your clothes off to join the ride. Organizers have implemented a lonstanding "go as bare as you dare" policy. Participants are only asked to be courteous and not judge other riders.

While it's a naked bike ride, bikes are also not a must-have. Participants can join in using any for of human-powered transport, provided they respect other riders, follow traffic rules and hold to the spirit of the event.

Registered participants will be told the gathering point for the ride at least one day advance. The route will not be publicized, by organizers will announce a designated viewing area at a later date.

Isn’t public nudity illegal?

Nude is darned sure lewd, no matter what the “evolved thinkers” might believe. This is all of a piece with “non-binary”, LGBT+ mythology, transgender (which is NOT a real thing) and childhood grooming (which is a real thing).

And to think they were once satisfied to scrawl graffiti and burn out businesses. This is definitely escalating.

A bunch of gay guys and not so happy women are expected. Thank goodness, Wisconsin has an endless number of other things to do this time of year including vacationing in the U.P..

My goodness, what a very effective way to protest oil dependency.

Am I right?

I can’t wait!

To not be there.

A good time will be had by all, except onlookers and bike mechanics.

Ok, these filthy lunatics should be forbidden from using any oil derivatives. Serious jail if they do preceded by public caning.

I'd be more impressed by their commitment to that cause if the protest were in February or March.

I wonder how many of those mentally unbalanced participants are... teachers, nurses, restaurant food preparers, etc.

Do they wash the seat or the hands after they walk the bike?

Feces, it’s only natural.

“You don’t have to take your clothes off to join the ride. Organizers have implemented a longstanding “go as bare as you dare” policy. Participants are only asked to be courteous and not judge other riders.” Is this story real?
