LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Hundreds of naked cyclists, some sporting strategically-placed body paint, toured the streets of London and other cities around the world Saturday to protest oil dependency and the car culture.
Traffic came to a standstill and onlookers gaped or took photographs as the bare cyclists streamed past London's landmarks, blowing whistles and waving flags saying "Rights for Bikes".
Cyclists in Paris, France; Madrid, Spain; and Vancouver, British Columbia, among other cities, joined in what was the fourth annual world naked bike ride.
More modest cyclists wore shorts, bikinis or strips of tape.

According to the news I heard on el radio we had some nude cyclists in Chicago too.
While reading this post I was surprised to see it was NOT posted by resident cycle-nut Peter. Thanks, by the way, Peter, for hooking that kid carrier on Mo's bike. She's used it 3 times this week so far. The girls love it.

Here's the thing anout Naked rides. although it may be nice to see " young, fit, chicks frolicking on their bikes" while protesting fuel use, it would never fail. A nasty old hippy broad with her tit's saging down to her bottom bracket, or a nasty geezer pedaling with his pud is all you'd be able to remember.
but being a cycling advocate, here is a link for more info about the "WNBR"
