A World Naked Bike Ride Event

I’m having a good chuckle while waking up to my first cup of coffee this morning.  Heads were apparently turning in St. Louis Saturday night, while hundreds of mostly nude bicyclists protested society’s dependence on oil.  It was all part of the “World Naked Bike Ride” which stretched for 10 miles through the city.  So far 70 cities across the globe have unknowingly been host to one of these political rides.  Officers with the St. Louis Police Department checked to make sure the bike riders were within the decency laws, wearing minimums like pasties, body paint, loin cloths and thongs.

For more information about organizing your own World Naked Bike Ride, check out their website.  There is also an entertaining video of what the rides look like.  You can also Google search for pictures using the ride’s name.  It’s quite entertaining.  I’d really like to see one of those come to Flagstaff!

Saturday around the half-acre homestead turned out to be quite busy and a fun one to boot!  Today was pickup day for our monthly take of our grass-fed meat CSA run by Stonewall Farm.

Our night turned interesting rather quickly!  I ran home from work to have dinner with Talina like I do most weeknights.

  1. This event occured in my town, Guelph, Ontario Canada. Sadly, however, the police showed up and arrested the sole male that was there for an “indecent act” in public. Nonsense! These people are trying to get the message out and big brother crushes them!
