The 2013 World Naked Bike Ride (NSFW)

The St. Louis version of the 2013 World Naked Bike Ride rolled through South St. Louis, Soulard, downtown, the Central West End and into the Grove on Saturday. The annual "clothing-optional" group ride is a colorful, two-wheeled rally that initially began as a protest against oil dependency, but has widened its message to include exposing the "dangers faced by cyclists and pedestrians." The St. Louis version is one of 70 such rides around the globe.
