Ah, Portland. Keeping it weird as always - this will be the 15th annual World Naked Bike Ride held in our city. Attracting around 10,000 riders, this event highlights the vulnerability of cyclists everywhere and decries society’s dependence on pollution-based transport. It is officially a protest - against dependency on oil, for cyclist safety and in support of body positivity. Attendees are also encouraged to adopt their own causes, often using their bare backs as protest signs. It's a Portland classic!
