Naked and angry

To save gas, naked bike riders take to the streets in Boulder, Colorado.

Without their cars, some feel naked. And with gas prices so high these days, there's a group of people who say now is the best time.

-Today's Flag Day, so my loincloth is an American flag.
The best time to ride your bike.
It's extra padding, with nothing but a message.
-Put extra glitter on my package just for the occasion.
The one hundred or so riders went every town they can harry out there to know depending too much on oil is nuts.

-The whole point of this ride is to encourage people to use bicycles in, as a form of transportation that does not pollute.

And wherever they go, it attracts attention.

More people are gonna look, they get a reaction.

-The rest of the tour is not gonna be necessarily that entertaining.

-If I’d really get a bike, I would be on there too.

-Days are going great, it's been great all right so far, lots of good reception from all the people we've seen, hopefully, they are getting the message, but we are still gonna smile and have fun anyway.

-I think the ratio of wieners to boobs is a little off, but thumbs up nonetheless.

-There's some really nice tread on their tires, I wasn't paying attention to much else.

-We are a gentle protest, we're a fun protest. But the message is very real.

A message which includes a reminder to watch out for bikers on the road.

-You know in a couple of times it still runs into somebody out of bicycle, we might as well be naked.

A message coming from people living in the city of the Bos.

-This is why I love here, I like naked people.

And this is our best turnout by far too.
