Is there a point? Are they protesting clothes? Is it not considered public indecentcy? I got a ticket when I was younger for mooning a cop. Can I get my 150 back? I hear if you piss in the bushes you can get a sexual predator charge. Idk how true that is.

GiddyGap OP ,

Public nudity is illegal in Portland, although court rulings have allowed it in instances of protest.

If you happen to stray from the group’s route in Saturday’s event, don’t fret: The public indecency ordinance does not apply to the Naked Bike Ride, the Portland Police Bureau confirmed to Axios.

So guess it’s a protest for cyclist safety, against oil dependency and in support of body positivity. I feel like it would be more unsafe naked, road rash will sure hurt. I’m not sure naked bike riders are going to stop climate change or get people to make more bike lanes. Especially if they already said, “go for it.” Id do it for fun though lol.

You can do it just for the fun of it. I did it a few times (not portland) & it’s one of the most fun liberating things I’ve been a part of. It’s very positive event and a good time. It does confuse some people i suppose
