The World Naked Bike Ride returns in June for a joy-filled and nearly-nude cruise throughout the streets of Chicago. The annual event is designed to support body positivity and independence from fossil fuel via a four-hour, 14-mile bike ride that invites participants to arrive "bare as [they] dare." (Just remember that full-frontal nudity is illegal in Chicago!) Like the No Pants Subway Ride and Cupid's Undie Run, the event attracts some rubbernecking from curious onlookers who encounter the cyclists. You can relive previous World Naked Bike Rides through our NSFW photo galleries and prepare for this year's scantily-clad cruise with the help of our guide.
