World Naked Bike Ride

Can you hear that rustling sound? That's the sound of hundreds of people dropping their clothes in preparation for the 2018 World Naked Bike Ride. The St. Louis edition of the worldwide event is now in its eleventh year and has grown to become one of the best-attended rides. And why not? St. Louisans have nothing to hide, and they love to ride — the World Naked Bike Ride combines both of those elements. Riders will begin assembling at 4 p.m., and the costume contest takes place at 5 p.m. (categories include "best creative DIY," "best dance moves" and "most hairy"). The ride itself starts at 6 p.m. Saturday, July 21, in the Grove (Manchester and Kentucky avenues; www.wnbrstl.org). Admission is free, but if you want to eat or drink you'll need to stash some money somewhere on your person.
