By now you've probably heard of the World Naked Bike ride, the annual event in which people in cities around the globe strip naked and ride in groups to raise awareness about oil dependence, body pride, and more. If you need a refresher course, check out the Nakedism blog post on the subject from a couple of years ago, Naked Riding 'Round the World."Bare as you dare" is the rule at these events, and more than once I have dropped trou in broad daylight to join the other cyclists for this, one of the most public naked events of the year. Although WNBR is not normally considered a naked dare, it certainly takes daring to be so naked in public, riding through and by crowds of clothed people. And no doubt some people have joined the ride just on a dare from friends.
You can see my participation in this event in the 2012 gallery of photos called Naked for a Cause. But this month we add video to that narrative. Although balls out naked, I remained behind the camera this time, recording many moments of Seattle's 2012 ride from my handlebar-mounted camera. If you're curious, feel free to check out Bicycles Built for Nudes, now playing in our Naked Dare Theater.
