Naked Bike Ride in Miami Protests Gulf Oil Spill
The Miami New Times ^ | June 9, 2010 | Amanda McCorquodale

If you're like us, the first impulse you had after seeing your first oil-soaked seagull was to rip off your clothes and hop on a bike. This Saturday, you can do just that in the company of strangers at the Miami World Naked Bike Ride to protest our nation's dependence on that gooey, wildlife-killing, black gold.

OK, so the organizers put an asterisk next to the word nudity, encouraging imaginative costumes and well-placed body paint. In other words, bare as much as you dare.

World Naked Bike Ride is an international movement, practiced in cities like Vancouver, British Columbia and Auckland, Australia, with the following mission: "We face automobile traffic with our naked bodies as the best way of defending our dignity and exposing the unique dangers faced by cyclists and pedestrians as well as the negative consequences we all face due to dependence on oil, and other forms of non-renewable energy."

Will Miamians have the balls to bare all like these international cities? And will all the exposed balls stop the tar balls from flowing this way? Probably not, but our only other idea is to stop up the leak with Sarah Palin's giant bouffant.

******

The first ever Miami World Naked Bike Ride happens this Saturday at the sun-friendly time of 4:30 p.m. The ride starts outside a Miami BP gas station at Biscayne and 10th Street, then heads to South Beach via the Venetian Causeway.

Maybe legalizing pot isn't such a good idea...

Is it wrong to hope for some spills and road-rash?
Because some ideas are so stupid they SHOULD result in injury.

“World naked bike ride, a movement.”

Correction: A bowel movement

No - best pictures will be what happens to the guys who ride nude on a bike and hit a pothole or stone.
OUCH, that has got to hurt

Re naked women doing the same. If they’re smiling, their seat fits just right.

Now, if Rosie O’Donnell and Helen Thomas are riding nude, all bests on the future existence of the world, are off.

1. Read my lips. No. Bad. Naked.

2. Bouffant? Have these tools actually seen the gov lately? Obviously not. If they had, they’d want her out there.

There is an inverse relation between females who get naked in public and females who look good naked.

I still have the poster that came in Queen’s album “Jazz”. About 100 naked chicks on bikes at the starting line. Probably something to do with the line from “Fat-Bottomed Girls”, “Get on your bikes and ride!”.

THAT will sure solve things.
Ridin’ in the nude will cause all the oil to be sucked back down the pipe.
Idiots.

>>>Please... No pics.

Those most likely to participate are also least likely to look good in their participation.

"Please... No pics."

OK. Then DON'T scroll 1/2 way down this page to see pictures of the "World Bike Riders". :)
