naked bike race

Alexandria Schneider & Maria Serrahima are back to planning another HUGE ride to unite the Philadelphia biking community! Their Ride DNC (Democratic National Convention, obviously) came to fruition after their wildly successful Poperide (AKA when the Pontiff came to town)....

OK, bike fever has hit this week. Like, every time I turn around there's a new event or awesome thing happening. If you're a biker, you should LOVE Philly right now. And if you're not, buy a damn bike immediately. Find out about Philly bike shares, Naked Bike Ride & the Full Moon Bike Ride - after the jump!

This past Sunday marked Philly's 2nd Annual Naked Bike Race. The #1 reason was to promote "fuel-conscious consumption" - with bikes lessening our city's carbon footprint. This city-wide trek draws attention to environmental awareness & cyclist safety. While not every biker was naked, many were creative between strategically placed objects, paint, covers in the shape of a bicycle, and Phillies "uniforms" painted on. Nakey bike riders, we at Green Philly Blog support you!
