Tired of biking to work only to find yourself sweating through your clothes? This weekend you're invited to cool down with a naked bike ride. Chance of chafing: 100%!
Participants of the annual World Naked Bike Ride are told to “wear what you wish," and in the past many have gone the full monty. If you want to join them, or take some photos, riders will be meeting at the Time’s Up headquarters under the Williamsburg Bridge at 3 p.m. this Saturday; there will be a bike and body decorating party prior to take-off. Will the ride take them through the Hasidic community that has previously been appalled by scantily clad female cyclists... and tank tops?
While we await a route, follow along on Twitter, and click through some of the past ride's NSFW photos.
