Chicago Naked Ride is a global clothing-optional motor-bike event where riders race off for a side-by-side reason of catching attention to all drivers and riders and promoting naked and glowing vision. Somewhere in the north, the once a year event takes place every June 2, when it was started 2004. Chicago organizers have it during the night to make the event more exciting
As the title suggest, all riders are bare-it all. They ride without clothes. Body painting though is allowed during the program. In chacago, there are lega restrictions to nudity in the front of the body. However, during the program, people undress all the way and ride their bikes. Before the event, a lot of merchants and body painters promote their service and make money from people who want to art their body with body paints. It is indeed exciting to ride at night with no clothes at all and even with just body paint all over. Some even ride off nude but with cover on their faces.
In the past, the route lasts up to a dozen miles with people riding, skating, cycling, without clothes! 2008 records the most number of riders, skaters, cyclists which totals up to 1700! This event has marked a lot of life-changing testimonies from participants as it has boosts morale and confidence among the people. It has also become a benchmark for numerous and similar events that also involves naked people as participants.
Future plans to revolutionize this approach involves a more liberal orientation whose sole purpose is to show off without hesitations,and without reservations. More and more people participate in this liberal event in fulfilment of their satisfaction to be free from clothing restrictions. Some people also join these types of event as part of their yearly “crazy” and “out of this world” activity to overcome certain fears they’ve built in their personality in the past.
Here’s an expert opinion from A.K. Streeter, a reporter/writer from Portland
From the outside, WNBR and Pedalpalooza rides seem to be all about the fun. During the more than three weeks of Pedalpalooza, a cyclist can do anything from a Pedal Car Karaoke ride (where one karaoke singer entertains the rest of the riders as they proceed around town) to a Prince vs. Bowie ride (basically a moving dance party) to a scavenger hunt ride, pirate ride, or even a combination Champagne/Prom Ride. During Pedalpalooza there truly is a ride to appeal to everyone, from road riders to MTB riders, from zoobombers to casual urban cyclists.
