Hundreds of people in their knickers, skivvies, and pantaloons bum-rushed the subway today as part of Improv Everywhere's annual No Pants Subway Ride. One reader who participated in the event said, "They asked who the oldest and youngest people were in the group. The oldest was 76, the youngest was 3." We'll have more pictures tomorrow, and if you have your own shots from today's event, send them to us at photos[at]gothamist[dot]com, or upload them to Flickr and tag them "gothamist."
