'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.

Lol! I only wish I had his talent.
Sun block sales should be brisk…
IOW, no one that anyone really wants to see naked.
😂
Are the bicycle seats disinfected afterwards?
More commie trash bShitte. Just an opportunity for the LUggButt pedos to parade about in front of kiddies.
yuck
100% capsaicin on the bicycle seats would be interesting to watch ...but not clean up. Add a little itching powder for fun also.
It’s NEVER the folks you’d actually want to see naked. EVER.
Naked bike ride is lewd, crude and stupid. What’s the point?
By the way, just what IS the spirit of the event? I sure don’t see any point to it myself. I don’t have a bicycle nor do I want to publicly expose myself in the nude.
I don’t wanna see any of them nekkid at all. Nope, uh uh.
“Spirit of the event” is pure bullchit.
