World Naked Bike Ride - Part 79

Guadalajara 2018

Today we look at the World Naked Bike Ride held in Guadalajara, Mexico on June 16, 2018.

The riders gathered before the ride in a local park.  This guy is wearing bunny ears.

As with other World Naked Bike Rides, not everyone had to be naked, and not everyone had to ride a bike.  This guy accompanied the bike riders on skates.

The words painted on him say "now if you see me."  It reflects one of the main goals of the World Naked Bike Rides: asking drivers to pay attention and drive safely around bike riders even when they're not naked.

This guy is getting a slogan painted on his back.

And here's his slogan: "This exhaust does not contaminate."  It reflects the other main goal of the World Naked Bike Rides: trying to get people to ride bikes instead of driving cars, because it's better for the environment.  Driving a car that burns fossil fuel generates harmful exhaust gases like carbon monoxide, as well as CO2 that contributes to global warming.  While it's debatable that the bike rider's "exhaust" does not contaminate, it is certainly far less in volume that what a car generates.

This guy's painted sign just says "L".  That's because he's part of ...

this group of riders who led the bike ride.  Their chests spell out "¡liberate".  There was another "E" at the end who didn't make it into this photo.

And they were off for another World Naked Bike Ride.
