York 2014
Today we look at the World Naked BIke Ride held in York, England on June 20, 2014. Riders gathered in a field near the Millenium Bridge.
And they're off!
Crosssing the modernistic Millenium Bridge.
Riders enter the town streets.
Heading for the Bootham Bar, which was a gatehouse into the medieval city.
Through the Bootham Bar.
Riders pass the Crown Court, the building on the right.
Some riders approaching the Crown Court on foot. Note the slogans painted on some riders' backs. The World Naked Bike Rides promote two main goals. First, bicycle safety, getting drivers to notice bicyclists, like the slogan "Please don't crash test me again." Second, getting people to ride bikes instead of driving cars because cars generate pollution, like the slogan "It's oil over."
Another rider promoting bikes instead of cars: "One less car."
Approaching the historic St. Michael le Belfry church.
Passing the church, which can be seen in the background.
The group poses for a photo by York Castle, with another sign promoting bicycle safety: "Notice us when we're NOT naked."
We end with a rider visiting a pub after the ride. Clothes? Who needs clothes?
