Warning: Naked Biking in Manhattan Tomorrow

0609nakedbikers.jpg Like the Facebook event page says: "Here it is finally. New York City will officially be joining in with thousands of cyclists around the world for the World Naked Bike Ride." Yes, finally. The event will take place with New York City’s inaugural nudist roll out (Critical Ass?). "Bicyclists in dozens of cities around the country and northern hemisphere will bicycle in the buff to 'stop indecent exposure to vehicle emissions.'" Now this is important: the ride begins at 5 p.m. at West 23rd Street between 11th and 12th Avenues, departure is around 6:30 p.m. on an, as of now, secret route (hopefully nowhere near South Williamsburg). No one will be excluded, there's been some mention of bodypaint. If you get photos, tag them with "Gothamist" on flickr! Or not! Use your best judgment, we can't decide.

I hope the KFC crowd won't participate. blah

Sounds good in theory, but it's always the last people you'd want to see naked who participate in things like this.

This just sounds painful to the participants more delicate parts.

Wow does that not sound comfortable.

The awful part is how many participants remove their bike saddles and just sit right on the seatpost. Yikes!

Asshole alert, hotstepper is posting

"JenChung'sStalker"? Such a paragon of virtue. Maybe we should all comment naked in protest of your noxious emissions.

typical white pale asses needing attention. what ever happen to looting and raping and stealing land from native populations all over the world?

To be followed by the ritual Chucking of the Bicycle Seats into the Plasma Furnace.

All participants get a small chunk of the resulting slag (presentation box $5 extra.)

Two words....back hair.

whenever I hear of naked bike riding I always think of the Queen video for the song "Bicycle Race"

Will they be riding through Crown Heights? Oy!

I told my 72 year old boss about the naked rides elsewhere he came up with "clitoral ass." I like that one, too.

Did the bike run still go on today? Just wondering if any pics were posted yet.

Just wanted to know if the bike run went on last Saturday?

How does one prevent the chafing?

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.
