Biking in the Buff
I guess if you’re going to protest auto use by riding a bike, doing it en masse is not quite enough to get the attention you want. Ride naked but beware the saddle sores! They put padding in biking shorts for a reason.
When Michel Perrault headed out for a bike ride on Saturday, he made sure to fasten his helmet and slip into his birthday suit.
Perrault was one of about 30 nude cyclists who pedalled through the streets of Montreal to draw attention to the excessive use of gas-powered vehicles.
"I certainly wouldn’t do it if I didn’t have to, but I want to be part of the gang. I want to prove the point,” he said, while waiting for the event to start.
"I want to get undressed in front of everybody and show them I am completely free of any kind of shame.”
Instalments of the World Naked Bike Ride were also expected to roll in several European cities, as well as the United States, Japan and Mexico.
In Canada, in-the-buff cyclists planned to take to the streets of Victoria, Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Moncton.

Yeah, have to admit, riding a bike in the buff is up there with dumb things to do. Okay, I see his cause, but still, there has to be a better way. And Toronto is on the list huh??
