Philly Naked Bike Ride 2018

Sure, there are serious social messages of body positivity, conspicuous anti-consumption, personal freedom and cycle safety – to say nothing of the Zen of removing yourself from convention– to be found while biking nude. But, honesty, the Philly Naked Bike Ride, now in its 10th year, lives and dies by the motto given to us by the great George Clinton: free your bum and your mind will follow. Plus, with humidity, it’s going to be nearly 100 degrees out. Strip, ride, bring your own message, or no message at all. Or don’t even take off of your clothes, if you don’t feel ike it – just ride along.
