Washington, DC
List of rides > US > Washington, DC
Come join the excitement on Saturday 13 June 2009 as the forth Washington DC ride!
Purpose: To ride through the United States capital to promote the use of alternatives to oil (or in the negative, "to protest against oil dependency").
We are planning on leaving at 3:00 pm from Franklin Park. We have in the past informed riders that DC law requires genitals to be covered and have not had any problems with tiny, flesh-colored penis "socks". Women may obviously go top-free. We will have a changing tent. Search Flickr for "DC naked ride" for ideas. We plan to ride past the capital building and the White House. Please bring signs and body markers. Please take the subway as parking is limited and those bringing equipment for the ride need it.

Please download the flyers at the yahoo group and distribute them in the DC/MD/VA area - especially college campuses and bike shops.
