Warning: Naked Biking in Manhattan Tomorrow

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.

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

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

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

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.)
