Actual event promo
Even though it's dark and dreary out today you might want to pack your sunglasses in case you happen to run into a mob of nude cyclists later this evening.
According to their Facebook page, the inaugural NYC ride starts at 23rd Street near the West Side Highway at 5pm. Beware because the "event type" is listed as "causes" and "protest" so there should be a few sights for sore eyes.
A quick look (beware there are actual naked people visible) on the "World Naked Bike Ride" website says, "In the beginning of WNBR, the message was balancing protesting against oil dependency and celebrating the power and individuality of the human body. In 2006, there was a shift towards simplifying the message and focusing on cycling advocacy. While the ride does include and appeal to participants from social nudity circles, the rides is not focused on promoting social nudity directly as much as cycling."
Hopefully the NYPD won't get all beat-down happy, as they've been known to do in the past to "activist cyclists..."
UPDATE: According to the Daily News the whole shebang went off without a hitch and the 40 or so riders were only stopped once when a cop told some buck naked dude to put his boxer briefs back on or he would be thrown in the slammer.
Seemingly this "naked bike ride" was much tamer than in other cities, New York you let me down! I was truly hoping to see gross pictures of crazy obese cyclists. The best one I've found so far is here, enjoy!

The day its on is NOT a great way to promote an event.
FAIL!
will the fat bottomed girls be riding today?
Proving once again that NYC is way more uptight than it lets on to be, and moreso than other similar cities (Berlin, SF, etc).
Great Story!
