Naked Bike Ride
Location: San Francisco, CA - Market Street
What, you've never seen a naked guy riding his bike on a busy downtown street? You obviously don't live in San Francisco.
Actually, this wasn't a totally random occurance. Sunday, June 10th, was World Naked Bike Ride day here in San Francisco. I went over specifically to shoot the ride. I had visions of hordes of naked bike riders taking over Market Street, but unfortunately that just wasn't the case.
I waited for about an hour past the official start, and hadn't seen any riders. I had just about given up and started walking home when they rode up behind me. It was a small group of 12-15 riders casually cruising down Market Street. They stayed in the bike lane and obeyed all the traffic lights. It was actually a little pathetic... but I will hand it too them for having the guts to do it.
