As the title implies, it doesn’t happen only in San Francisco — it’s a global event, with rides in over 70 cities around the world. Ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner is recently unemployed, so I got him a gig as the censor for today’s event. As an expert in penis-photographs, he definitely has the skills for the job! Throughout this censored version of the World Naked Bike Ride report, wherever you would have seen a wiener, you’ll see a Weiner instead! Participants gathered in Justin Herman Plaza in San Francisco’s Embarcadero area. Anyone could join in — anyone who enjoys being naked in public, that is. The main question gawkers ask is, “Why???” Well, in theory at least, there is a political dimension to the World Naked Bike Ride, which gives me an excuse to report on it. Luckily, the event’s main organizers have posted an FAQ page for the perplexed. The question “Why are you riding naked?” is answered with “To celebrate cycling and the human body. The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and is a protest against oil dependency.” In addition, the WNBR main page states, “We face automobile traffic with our naked bodies as the best way of defending our dignity and exposing the unique dangers faced by cyclists and pedestrians as well as the negative consequences we all face due to dependence on oil, and other forms of non-renewable energy.”]]>Tue, 21 Jun 2011 10:56:41 -0400<![CDATA[Zombie]]>https://pjmedia.com/zombie/2011/06/21/world-naked-bike-ride-san-francisco-n136805
