ST. LOUIS, Mo. – After a one-year hiatus, hundreds of participants joined in the annual 12-mile bicycle ride through the streets of St. Louis. The ride is designed to demonstrate against oil dependency and to promote a positive body image, alternative forms of transportation, as well as cyclists’ rights. Riders are encouraged to go “as bare as they dare.” World Naked Bike Rides are scheduled in 70 cities in 20 countries.
