Figured that would grab you...

But, sad to say, the info came a little too late. I missed the World Naked Bike Ride that was held last Saturday. You probably did too.

If you've never heard of it, join the club. It certainly sounds intriguing, though, doesn't it? Organizers call the ride "the craziest, wildest, most insane event of the year."

I can believe it.

The purpose of the ride is to "experience the naked joy of the worlds largest naked protest against oil dependency and car culture in the history of humanity..."

Okay. Good idea.

But I suspect it's also a hoot just to ride your bike around naked for the day!

Maybe next year...

In the meantime, provided you ride fully clothed, you might want to participate in Commute Another Way Day, Maine's statewide alternative transportation event this Wednesday. Ride your bike to work and mix a little exercise with your commute!

And, of course, this weekend is the Trek Across Maine, the 180-mile ride from Bethel to Rockland to raise funds for the American Lung Association of Maine. If you haven't already sponsored a rider, please do!
