What happens when you get a flat on World Naked Bike Ride?
It’s a similar process…but also not
Photo by: Chef Rhonda Collins @rhondacollins61On Saturday in Toronto, the 2022 World Naked Bike Ride took place, and many said it was bigger and better than ever. The ride takes place every year to protest pollution as a result of the reliance on cars, as well as promote alternatives to fossil fuels. The ride also celebrates body positivity, bringing together a group of happy cyclists, wearing nada.
Hundreds of riders got into their birthday suit and headed out for a cheeky little ride through Toronto. Some of the riders even crashed a wedding.

Onlookers had to do a double take when they saw the nude peloton riding the roads. There was even one point where the riders passed an protest against the COVID-19 mandates.
I seem to have stumbled into the intersection of Word on the Street, and an anti-vax rally and the Toronto Naked Bike ride. All happening at Queen’s Park. It may create a vortex in the space-time continuum. ??♂️ kinda nsfw pic.twitter.com/rBnZWLj9Bh

Riders had signs and flags as they promoted their message.

Of course, part of riding a bike means there can always be mechanicals. And sure enough, someone had a flat. What to do when your pal has a puncture? You help out, obviously. Of course, it’s a bit different when you’re in your birthday suit. But thankfully, they got it sorted.
