Madrid, Spain (AHN) -- Hundreds of bike riders shed their clothing and rode through the capital of Spain Saturday protesting the overuse of automobiles, and celebrating the simplicity of bicycles and the human body.
According to the World Naked Bike Ride Website, the annual ride is held in cities all over the world "to celebrate cycling and the human body. The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and is a protest against oil dependency."
The event is meant to be a peaceful and humorous. It has a "bare as you dare" policy, meaning it's okay to wear some clothing. Promoters urge riders to wear as little possible and still be comfortable.
The event started in 2004 and encourages people in cities everywhere to organize groups to ride in protests.

The vulgar swine simply do not understand that bicycles are very damaging to Mother Earth.
The rubber tires use a huge carbon footprint to manufacture and the grease and oils needed to maintain the bikes pollute the Earth also are damaging to the Earth to refine.
Why doesn't everyone just understand that we need to walk everywhere that we need to go?
We need to pass laws taxing wasteful bicycle usage.

I love road cycling and mountain bike riding but I would also be the first to admit we have more than our fair share of flakes, jerks and weirdos. (I almost added liberals to the list, but that would be a redundancy.)

It has a "bare as you dare" policy, meaning it's okay to wear some clothing. Promoters urge riders to wear as little possible and still be comfortable. A bare bottom, a bicycle seat and a 20 mile ride is NOT a good combination.
