A reminder press release from the Portland Police Bureau regarding tomorrow night’s World Naked Bike Ride.
The World Naked Bike Ride is set to roll through the streets of Portland this Saturday, June 18, 2011, at 10:00 p.m. Riders will gather at 9:00 p.m. at Southeast Water Avenue and Salmon Street. Event organizers estimated the number of participants last year to be 13,000 people.
The Portland Police Bureau will have extra officers on hand to ensure everyone is safe and to provide assistance at intersections.
The Portland Police Bureau recommends that all riders at least wear a helmet and shoes to avoid any potential injuries.
Being naked in public in Portland is legal if it falls within the guidelines of ORS 163.465, which are included below.

(b) An act of deviate sexual intercourse; or
(c) An act of exposing the genitals of the person with the intent of arousing the sexual desire of the person or another person.(2)
(a) Public indecency is a Class A misdemeanor.
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this subsection, public indecency is a Class C felony if the person has a prior conviction for public indecency or a crime described in ORS 163.355 to 163.445 or for a crime in another jurisdiction that, if committed in this state, would constitute public indecency or a crime described in ORS 163.355 to 163.445.
GOOD TO KNOW. Related: I think it should be against the law to knowingly sell a bike that was ridden in the naked bike ride, if the seat was not replaced and burned. Barring that they should provide proof they were wearing underpants. That is all!

I was hoping that the cops were announcing that they were going to dress appropriately for this thing.
Well, there goes my idea of riding a recumbent bike while having sex (girl on top, facing backwards me on bottom, the dude, pedaling. think about it)
What a whingeing prissy crybaby you are. Burn the seat, it’s got cooties! Maybe you should burn your face after I slap you with my cock. 😉
And the award for creepy emoticon of the week goes to Grimnir.
Oh it’s that time already? Some guy said the other day “there’s probably some Hot Girls that are doing this” to which I replied “oh there are some but they are far outnumbered by fat hairy people. ” Gross. Good thing I won’t be in the vicinity
The GESTAPO POLICE STATE at work.
Oh My! I made it home just in time to be shielded away from the strange ones who wish to flash the world whilst peddling away. (gleefully nude.) O , O
cool! I joined a small one before, this is cool! At your first naturist experience, you may feel apprehensive and worried that people will be staring at you. But a visit to truenudist.net is much different than you would experience anywhere else. At there, you will not find people trying to undress you with their eyes, from afar or near, because there is nothing left for the imagination to remove. You will not find people throwing outdated, lewd or offensive pickup lines at you.
