Chicago’s Naked Bike Ride

World Naked Bike Ride is a fun and conspicuous event celebrating the end of the oil era, and promoting positive body image. This event is global with dozens of cities participating world-wide, and Chicago routinely setting U.S. turnout records. This is a bare-as-you-dare event, with outfits ranging from body paint to fanciful costumes to beach-wear. Chicago’s past rides rallied hundreds of cyclists and numerous skaters covering about a dozen miles of high visibility city tourism and recreation areas. The ride’s atmosphere is extremely joyful, convivial, and transcendently fun. Bicycles constitute the best solution to reducing America’s petroleum addiction and improving public fitness. With gas prices astronomical and obesity an epidemic, our messages have become truisms.
