World Naked Bike Ride 2006 in San Francisco

This was held on 10th June 2006. June 10, 2006 was the date for the World Naked Bike Ride, which -- as its name suggests -- is an international political event at which protesters take off all their clothes and ride bicycles through various cities around the globe. The focus of the protest is theoretically to encourage people to give up their "dependence on fossil fuel" -- but in practice the messages (which the organizers tell participants to paint directly on their bodies) are more scattered, ranging from "free speech" to presidential politics. The San Francisco version of the event, which started at noon in the city's Justin Herman Plaza. Most of the photos presented below are self-explanatory (and self-parodying), so I'll keep the captions to a minimum.

Is this the protest against the President or the fuel price

She drew the most attention. She generally had the crowd around her. But a stern-looking and well-built boyfriend stood by to fend off the would-be suitors.

Are u willing to sacrifice your clothes for more fuel consumption??sane or insane??
If you mean "Free to be forced to look at penises in public," then you've got a point there.
