Old naked guys ride through DC on bikes for the environment

The next time you're frustrated about consumerism, car culture, or our general lack of environmental progress, don't bother writing that vitriolic letter to the AARP, do something positive -- take off your clothes! And then, once you're stark-ass naked, ride around the streets of our nation's capital and share your message with the world.
If you need some inspiration, check out these guys! These old nude dudes are taking part in the World Naked Bike Ride -- an event created to raise awareness about oil dependency and the negative environmental impacts of our car dominated existence. This year's excursion took green-leaning nudists and cycling enthusiasts past the Capitol Building and in front of the White House.
Potentially the most interesting aspect of this ride is that, according to organizers, "there are no leaders" -- so people just show up, strip off, and ride away. Sounds like with a few friends, a little elbow grease, and a lot of nerve, you might be able to start a Naked Bike Ride in your area. (If you do, please send pictures, I promise I'll post them on the Internet!)
Of course, DC wasn't the only swinging city this weekend -- the inhabitants of Madrid staged a nudie bike ride of their own. Be warned, however, these photos are even less appropriate for the office.
