Yet another side of Portland...

In perusing the Portland Mercury this morning, I came across this item: NUDE BIKE RIDE!

To me, this as quirky as the sit/lie rule I posted about yesterday. I decided to follow the links in the article and came to

Your First Naked Ride

According to this article, last year Portland had over 500 riders and expects to increase that number this year. There was in fact a day time ride last year.

Who knew? Obviously, there are sides of the city the major media doesn't cover.

So last night at about 1:00 am, we awoke to a chorus of loud voices and cheers outside. It went on for a bit, so I looked out the window. And there they were, at least 100 naked bike riders having the time of their lives.

It was awesome. My first public nudity EVER. And it wasn't sexual (maybe a little) but just exhilarating.

And I, too, am a bit perplexed by the lack of media coverage. Even blog posts are few and far between. You'd think there'd be more interest in nakedness.
