Naked Hippies On Bicycles

June 29, 2008 by Ian MacKenzie

A few week’s ago, I covered the Vancouver Naked Bike Ride. It was an enlightening experience:

Aside from the great interviews, I was struck by the following observations:

  • naked people are bizarre for about 10 minutes, then it becomes so normal you barely notice
  • there’s something very beautiful about complete inhibition to social code
  • looking around it’s entirely obvious we’re utterly dependent on cars, and it’s interesting to think how we let it get this way
  • it may be fun to join the ride next year

What do you think of the naked bike ride? Share your thoughts in the comments!

    I thought this was going to be about Burning Man… I was somewhat dissapointed. I am also somewhat grossed out by the idea of sweaty asscrack on bike seats and because that’s all I think about when I see a naked hippie on a bike, whatever point they were trying to make goes right over my head.
    Kinda like your article…
