The people on the Washington D.C. streets this afternoon were in for a shocking sight as around 30 bike riders toured the city in nothing but their skivvies. The World Naked Bike Ride, or WNBR, as they call themselves, was “protesting against oil dependency.” According to their website they were scheduled to begin around 3:00 p.m. with the goal of riding past the capitol building to politely suggest that there are other alternatives to oil. Like bike riding. Naked. Certainly uses a lot less oil. But probably painful.
One bystander to the unique protest was Susannah Black, of Hamilton, Virginia. Sightseeing in D.C. for the day, she saw the WNBR riders from a distance and was so excited that she chased them for a good five blocks trying to catch up, shedding clothes as she went. She was so inspired upon seeing the nude protesters that after not being able to join them in D.C. she promptly returned to her hometown and initiated the first ever Hamilton Nudie Ice Cream Eating Saunter and Twilight Watching Fest. She and upwards of 3 of her friends ate ice cream and walked leisurely through downtown Hamilton and into Purcellville completely in the buff. They then sat on the lawn of a local friend’s home and watched Twilight projected on the outside wall of the house. “Oh, we weren’t protesting anything,” Black commented, “we just wanted to be naked.”
