Just putting a warning out there for those who might not appreciate the clotheslessness of that bike ride (I don't) and want to keep their kids from viewing.

World Naked Bike Ride Tomorrow Night - Portland Police Urge Riders to Wear Helmets and Shoes - 06/07/13
The World Naked Bike Ride is set to roll through the streets of Portland this Saturday, June 8, 2013, at 10:00 p.m., beginning in the South Park Blocks. Event organizers estimated the number of participants last year to be nearly 8,000 people.

The Portland Police Bureau will have extra officers on hand to ensure everyone is safe and to provide assistance at intersections.

Portland City Code 14A.40.030 (Indecent Exposure) states the following:

It is unlawful for any person to expose his or her genitalia while in a public place or place visible from a public place, if the public place is open or available to persons of the opposite sex.

Although many participants may violate Portland City Code, the Police Bureau will be exercising tremendous discretion as long as participants stay on the route with the rest of the riders.

The Portland Police Bureau recommends that at a bare minimum, all riders at least wear a helmet and shoes to avoid any potential injuries. Bike lights are also recommended.

This is a permitted event and traffic will be affected in several areas of Downtown, Kerns, West Buckman, Lloyd, Sullivan's Gulch, and the Laurelhurst neighborhoods.

Insert beer belly joke here.

Pretty sure not a bunch of super models signed up.

Kind of like going to the country fair near Eugene, it's not usually the people that you really want to see with their clothes off.

The kinds of people who like to be nude aren't the kind of people who you would want to see nude.

99 percent is a horrible sight. But that 1 percent.........

The problem is not watching some people bike ride nude,
as much as seeing the dismounts that could lead others to lose their lunch !

I'm working tomorrow night (Paramedic in Multnomah County). Not looking forward to it.

 

[Stomper]

The usual suspects that do public nudity are often those who shouldn't... does anyone still wish they were a bicycle seat?

 

[Simonpie]

As a long time motorcycle racer, I've seen and experienced enough horrible crashes that I just sort of shrug it off when I see it. But still, to see someone in shorts fall off a skateboard gives me the willies thinking about road rash. I'm pretty sure a naked bike ride would "oog me out" based on this. Also, braided pit hair is kind of a turn off.

Some of them old nasties could steer their bikes with their saggies.

99 percent is a horrible sight. But that 1 percent.........

Real 1%ers still bubbleguming wear clothes. These wussies don't know manure from bubblegum.
If they were hardcore they'd do this in the worst and unruly weather known to man. Out here it's known as mid Jan-Feb.

We haven't had enough sunlight in the northwest for this to be anything but a disaster.

The moral decline of this once great country is sickening. The government officials and the LEOs just sit back and let it happen. Shame on them!!!!!

The main problem with naked bike rides is that if there is a pile up there will be twice as many skid marks in the street...

There are waaaay too many distasteful images in my mind from this thread......

UGGH!

Hey, it's a free country and everyone's morals are not that of your own.
