Philadelphia’s famous Naked Bike Ride is right around the corner.
The Philly Naked Bike Ride was created to celebrate both biking and body positivity. It celebrates all bodies and all forms of free expression. The Philly ride has been around for 11 years, and boasts somewhere between 2,000 to 3,500 riders each year.
Although it is called the Naked Bike Ride, people can still participate even if they don’t want to go totally nude. The event is described as a “bare as you dare” event according to the website. Organizers also encourage riders to get creative with costumes, paints, hats, and anything under the sun. Not only are riders celebrating their bodies, but they are also promoting conscious fuel consumption.
P.S. if you don’t have a bike, don’t worry, they encouraged all kinds of people-powered transportation such as skates/Rollerblades, skateboarding, scooter riding, and jogging.
