So there will be a World Naked Bike Ride in St. Louis this weekend to protest rising oil prices and oil dependency. “Come as bare as you dare,” the organizers say, since there are some indecency laws that may be enforced by police who are willing to come close enough.
If you want to ride, it begins at Tower Grove Park at 9pm on Saturday. If you want to watch, and who wouldn’t?!, bring binoculars. The riders will be the lightish (or multicolored—if they participated in the pre-ride paintapalooza) blobs against a dark night. If you don’t have a bike, you may rollerblade or skateboard.
St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay is pleased to host this event. He says that while they mean well, their methods “should be looked at more closely”. I wish I could link you to the page from where the Mayor’s quote comes, but I heard it only on the radio news on 106.5 The Arch.
So for all you protesters, bicyclists, and clothing haters, come frolic and have the most fun you can have on wheels! We hope to see you out, especially if we are driving our gas-hogging SUVs, because it’s really hard to see bikes in the dark from up that high. . .
Oh yes, organizers remind all participants to wear helmets--safety first, folks!
