In cities around the world people will be riding their bikes naked or nearly so to cultivate bike culture, bringing awareness to the alternatives of the automobile,  risks associated with, pollution, wars for oil and body shame.

−
It's not necessary to be naked, take off what you are comfortable with. Formal wear would be just as impactful.

WHY ARE WE RIDING OUR BIKES NAKED?
 
−
1) To promote freedom from oil dependency
 
−
2) To combat pollution
 
−
3) To foster a positive body image
 
−
4) To highlight the vulnerability bicyclists experience every day
 
−
when sharing the road with cars.
 
−
5) To get your attention!
 
−
Bicycles are a cheap, efficient, clean and healthy mode of
 
−
transportation. Bicycling helps fight obesity and disease. Bicycles
 
−
don't consume foreign oil, don't spew pollution into the air, and
 
−
don't contribute to global warming. If more people rode bicycles we'd
 
−
have fewer problems with traffic congestion, lack of parking space,
 
−
road rage, accidents, and DUIs. We'd like to encourage everyone to
 
−
get on your bike today!
 
−
 
−
Hope to see you there, Sunny
