World Naked Bike Ride - Part 74

 St. Louis 2023

Today we look at another World Naked Bike Ride in the U.S.  This one was held in St. Louis, Missouri in 2023.  Above, participants gather before the ride begins, including this well-hung guy.

Another participant before the ride begins, sporting body paint handprints.

It's always good to have Cupid on hand at these events.

At first I thought this guy's beard entirely covered his face.  Closer inspection revealed that it's not his beard at all.  He's wearing a dark cloth over his face, and we're seeing his long hair.

The ride begins.  Here's another long-haired guy, this one wearing a helmet.

Look, ma, no hands!

The ride goes through the downtown streets toward St. Louis' iconic Gateway Arch.

Still heading toward the Arch.  The building on the right looks like the State Capitol, but it isn't; that's in Jefferson City.  This is the Old Courthouse building.

Later, after dark, a group of riders posing for the camera.

We end with rider Jeffrey Roberts, at right, and a guy with a "Don't Tread on Me" slogan, where the treads are tire treads.  Evidently he was promoting safety for cyclists, which is a WNBR theme, i.e. "Don't run over me and my bicycle with your car or truck."  

It was another successful WNBR.
