Everyone We Saw at the World Naked Bike Ride in St. Louis (NSFW)

The St. Louis leg of the World Naked Bike Ride happened over the weekend and there sure was plenty to see!

Participants took to the streets on two wheels and let it all hang out. They all have different reasons for their participation: Some people want to protest oil dependency (that was the original intent of this annual event when it started back in 2003), some people view the event as a form of free speech, and some people just want to let it all hang out.

The "bare as you dare" ride started and ended in The Grove but the route stretched for 10 miles across across the city, bringing joy (and shock) to onlookers.

Our photographer Max Bouvatte was there to document the scene.
