Naked cyclists protest oil dependence
Hundreds of nearly-nude bikers and curious onlookers have descended on St. Louis for a 10-mile ride protesting U.S. dependence on oil, participants said.
The World Naked Bike Ride, which has been held in about 70 cities across the globe since 2004, came to St. Louis for the first time Saturday night as nude and nearly-nude cyclists rode their bikes from the city's Tower Grove Park to the Grove neighborhood, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Monday.
Spectators said many of the riders got creative with strategically covering up certain body parts, with thongs, pasties and body paint becoming common sights at the event.
Onlooker Don Biekert, 50, of Centralia, Ill., said the ride made for an amusing spectacle, but this ain't nothing like Mardi Gras.
