Well, the World Naked Bike Ride made headlines: CNN.com. No mention of the DC version in local news, though.

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com

Not me - no way. I am afraid to ride and be seen in cycling shorts.

Over here in the UK it's very tempting to cast off every stitch of clothing as we're having a glorious day...but somehow I think I'll give it a miss
There are a lot of unwanted, unloved bikes out there - go on give a bike a good home

Damn, this ride always falls on the very weekend before Finals for me.
Last year my sweetie and I (he was not quite yet my sweetie) were at a 24 hour cafe studying our butts off (and falling madly in love) when suddenly the entire cafe emptied out as everyone ran out onto the sidewalk hooting and hollering at the nekkid people riding by. This year, we were studying our butts off in his apartment which is a few blocks from the route. Shortly after midnight, we could hear a raucous chorus of whoops and whistles echoing through the neighborhood.
Someday I have got to make time to do this!! In the meantime, I'll read the local BikePortland WNBR report and live vicariously through it.
