The World Naked Bike Ride went off without a hitch in London this past weekend. The purpose of the ride is twofold—to remind drivers that cyclists and pedestrians are vulnerable and need to be looked out for, and to protest the world’s dependency on oil.
Melvin Heng’s photos on Flickr give you a good idea of what the spectacle looked like. Visit www.worldnakedbikeride.org for more info on the ride, and stay tuned for coverage in the upcoming issue of Urban Velo from our man on the scene.
This is a message to any man who is thinking about participating in a Naked Bike Ride…for God’s sake, think about trimming the thicket around your junk — no one, male or female, wants to see Dr. J’s ‘fro staring up from between your legs!
