Portland's World Naked Bike Ride is back this summer

After sitting out the COVID summers, Portland’s nakedest bike ride is back and almost as naked as ever.

Almost because organizers are asking people to wear masks on their faces during the ride. Covering every other body part, however, is up to rider discretion.

This year’s World Naked Bike Ride will take place on the evening of July 30. So far, that’s the extent of the details. Would-be riders should keep an eye on pdxwnbr.org or follow @pdxwnbr on Twitter for more details as the event gets closer.

Every year, excluding the last two, bike riders gather in Portland and around the world and remove as many of their clothes as they want and ride through town to draw awareness to bicycle safety, fossil fuel dependency and really whatever cause they want.
