Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - 2009 has been a banner year for large groups of naked people protesting one thing or another. Now Philadelphia has hosted a naked protest bash all it's own which took place Sunday.
Although PNBR organizers claim the event's goal is to "save the planet" by promoting fuel conservation while advocating a "positive body image", many riders who came out said they simply wanted to be naked. Some participants had no idea what the cause was supposed to be, but that didn't seem to be much of a concern as they took to the street wearing little or no clothing.
Full nudity was not required for the ride, as many riders wore bikinis, shorts, spandex or underwear. Many of those who stripped down further wore body paint. Participants were, however, required to sign up in order to learn the meeting place, which was kept secret until ride time.
Nearly 1,000 participants showed up - about half the number of people event organizers were hoping for. The ride began near City Center Philadelphia and was scheduled to continue for about 90 minutes.
