Concierge.com’s Danielle Pergament reports:
Ostensibly, the World Naked Bike Ride was started in 2004 as a demonstration against pollution and oil dependency. Over the years, it's taken on different forms in different countries at different times but the general theme is the same: Participants are encouraged to strip down and go out for a bike ride, but the bicycle part is somewhat misleading—skateboards and in-line skates are welcome as well.
See the World Naked Bike Ride website for more details.
