MONTPELIER – Naked cyclists brought smiles to the faces of hundreds of sidewalk spectators Saturday as free-spirited riders spread a message of bike and body love. No fewer than 42 men and women (and two appropriately clothed children) spun a well-watched path down Main Street early Saturday afternoon en route to the Statehouse. Aside from some body paint preaching the ills of oil dependency and the beauty of the bicycle, the crew for the most part bared all.

It was a protest in the raw. Well, almost. About 40 scantily clad men and women braved the rain for a nearly nude bike ride on the streets of Manhattan Saturday - until cops forced the joy riders to button up.

The Boulder Police Department's threat of potentially registering genital-displaying Naked Bike Ride peddlers as sex offenders seems to have done the trick. This weekend's Ride went off without a hitch, but with plenty of stitches over groins -- and pasties on male and female nipples alike, as can be seen in the Boulder Daily Camera video above. Shortly after the last chants of "Less gas! More ass!"



Cyclists bare all in naked ride through Portland

Jun 14, 2009

PORTLAND, Ore. - More than a thousand nude cyclists took to the streets overnight in downtown Portland for the Naked Bike Ride. It started at the stroke of midnight on Northwest Nicolai Street. The cyclists then rolled through downtown with plenty of onlookers cheering them on. Not every cyclist bared it all but many did. Police controlled traffic at intersections and kept an eye out on the event. It is not illegal in the city to ride a bike in the nude.
