World Naked Bike Ride

Today was (I think) the 14th World Naked Bike Ride in Portland. This year the cyclists met in Cathedral Park and rode along Willamette Blvd., making it very easy for us to walk over and cheer them on. There's usually about 10,000 cyclists taking part, whooping and cheering and being silly.
I like what it says on the website:
"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."
"The unabashed vehicle of the revolution. By cycling naked we declare our confidence in the beauty and individuality of our bodies and the bicycles’s place as a catalyst for change in the future of sustainability, transport, community and recreation."
Very fun. We saw a lot of tandem bikes, and very few old naked folk, sooo, we have a tandem, and we're old - next year, what do you think?
Here's an Extra, too.
