——

Every year, in cities around the world, people ride bikes naked to celebratecycling and the human body.

The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and is a protest against car culture.

It’s time to put a stop to the indecent exposure of people and the planet to cars and the pollution they create. We face automobile traffic with our naked bodies as the best way of defending our dignity and exposing the vulnerability faced by cyclists and pedestrians on our streets as well as the negative consequences we all face due to dependence on oil, and other forms of non-renewable energy.
