Hundreds of cyclists gathered at Irving Park to begin the annual Naked Bike Ride on World Naked Bike ride day.
The Naked Bike Ride is more of a protest than a parade. Many are participating in order to raise awareness about the dangers of oil dependency, cyclist safety, and bodily autonomy for all.
The route for the event is kept a secret until the day of. This year, participants traveled from Irvington to Southeast Portland, ending at Mt. Tabor Park for a fun-filled afterparty.
