"Thousands of bikers took to the streets this weekend to ride their bikes in the buff, as part of the annual World Naked Bike Ride event.\nThe clothing-optional bike rides has taken place in at least 70 cities and 20 countries around the world. \nSee also: Naked Stop-Motion Empowers You to Love Your Body\nThe event dates back to 2004, and carries the motto \"Bare as you dare.\" The purpose? Organizers say it is to demonstrate \"the vulnerability of cyclists on the road\" and to \"protest against oil dependency.\"\nPlus, do you really need an excuse to ride naked on a bike with thousands of strangers? We didn't think so. Although Saturday is the official Naked Bike Ride date in the northern hemisphere, some cities \u2014 including New York \u2014 held rides on other dates. In New York, nude cyclists took to the streets on Friday.\nOn Saturday, however, there were naked cyclists riding with pride in London, Chicago and Guadalajara, among other cities. Naturally, some fantastic images and videos surfaced on Instagram, Twitter and Vine. We've embedded a few of our favorites, below:\nWarning: Although we did our best to avoid images with overt full-frontal nudity, some of these may be NSFW.\nNaked Bike Day\n!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+\"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\");Have something to add to this story?
