    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.
