When hundreds of protesters take off most of their clothes, coat themselves in body paint and hop on bicycles, they are likely to draw a fair amount of attention.
That's the point.
The World Naked Bike Ride plans to hit Chicago and at least 25 other cities around the world Saturday as a peaceful protest against international oil consumption, according Chicago ride organizer Aurora Danai.
"We don't expect everyone to be OK with this," said Danai, a 26-year-old Bucktown resident. "We're just trying to have a good time and raise awareness."
Now in its third year, World Naked Bike Ride is a way for communities to simultaneously protest oil use and promote positive self-images by ditching motor-powered vehicles and the body coverings society demands people wear, Danai said.

Surely this retort is tongue in "cheek?" LOL
Something just came to mind about one of Ron (Tater Salad) White's jokes about wanting to see womens breasts, even, an "ol biker chick's."
Yes, he says. Of course.
Very funny. Has something to do with "rolling them up."
As an aside, was just wondering if they will be wearing their helmets?
I'll pASS.
In the fourth fold of their spare tire.
You know, that's exactly the message I thought I was conveying while riding around nude on my bicycle last week...but the cops just didn't get it, LOL!
What a bunch of dorks. I wish them many, many saddle sores.
You are having too good of a time with this thread. :-)
If this is anything like that nude parade in Berkeley (Breasts not Bombs) last year, you are right about no pics.
That was a serious disgusto-rama!
Whatever you do, do NOT Google "Breasts not Bombs" and look at the pics! Especially if you have just had a meal.
Isn't this the Official Friday Silliness Thread?
Or did I oversleep?
I wouldn't know. We haven't had sun in these parts since, like, um, September. :-)
Buck naked from Bucktown?
I guessing it's a nudest colony or Danai is pulling the reports leg on this.
There is a Bucktown and oddly enough it is near Wicker Park. Not to be confused with Wacker Drive.

Well, there were better ones but not ones I could post, if you know what I mean. t.
I would be afraid I would get *it* wrapped up in the spokes or around the foot pedals.
Uh...guess the guys may be wearing their "helmets", otherwise it could be breezy.
Anyway, with all the energy they will be expending on their bicycles, at least some of those folks will be promoting gas.
I used to put my Dick Allen baseball cards in the spokes.
At least post a link...:-)
Tie it around the handlebars!
