Hundreds of people come rolling down a Philadelphia street on bicycles. People watching from the sidewalk, from windows, and from cars are hooting, laughing, pointing, snapping pictures. You take a closer look at the cyclists as they get closer.
And you realize that the cyclists are . . . (gasp) naked.
What’s the first thing that comes to your mind?
Cleaner air, of course.
Which is good, because that’s exactly what these nude nuts are trying to do. The Philly Naked Bike Ride is an annual event in September that takes place to promote “bicycling awareness and cleaner air”.
Of course, the fact that some people just like to get out there and strut it all had absolutely nothing to do with it.
After pedaling together for several miles through the City of Brotherly Love, the cyclists wheeled off to their homes, leaving the populace laughing, groaning, texting, uploading.
Yup. Everybody sure talked for a long time about cleaner air after that.
All sarcasm aside, there’s no doubt the cyclists accomplished one thing: They certainly raised bicycling awareness.
Hey, who wants to take the kids to Philly next year?
