Less gas, more ass is one of the slogan’s for Montreal’s World Naked Bike Ride.
Naked cyclists are taking over the streets this weekend for a protest against oil consumption that also highlights body freedom and cyclists rights.
Back in town for its 21st edition, this unique cycling event combines activism, awareness, and body positivity, bringing together people from all walks of life for an unforgettable cycling experience.
By cycling naked, participants show their commitment to reducing fossil fuel consumption, highlighting the vulnerability of cyclists on roads, encouraging motorists to be more aware of alternative modes of transportation, and celebrating body diversity and self-acceptance.
Organizers caution cyclists to check their tire pressure, brakes, and bike chains to make sure everything is working properly—and to bring sunscreen, water, a backpack or bicycle bag for clothes and personal belongings, and a small towel to sit in the park (or on the saddle).
For the night ride, front and back lights are suggested.
The ride organizers also encourage participants to bring banners, music, and decorate their bikes. Horns, bells and good moods are welcome!
Bonus: body painting will be also available.
