This year's World Naked Bike Ride held in St. Louis, MO

By Otto
This last Saturday was the World Naked Bike Ride St. Louis, MO. A large crowd gathered for the event. I met a fellow at a party that night who intended to be in the event. He told me he planned on wearing his shoes and that was it.
"Not everyone will be naked," Charles (not his real name) said. "But I will be, except for my shoes. There will be more naked guys than girls."
He also said that he wasn't worried about police because they were planning to lead the ride and escort all the riders.  
The ride event was sponsored by Spoked Bikes & Stuff.
According to the web site for this event:
"This 7th year of the World Naked Bike Ride – St. Louis is our best year yet. We beat all attendance and participation records, with an estimated 6000 attendees and 2500 riders.
We had no serious accidents, no arrests, and no disturbances. All we did was have fun and celebrate our sexy bodies, our bikes and enjoy our city. Thank you all for being part of this amazing event. Big thanks to the Grove neighborhood for hosting, to the St. Louis Police Department for ensuring our safety, and to our sponsors for supporting.
Cheers"

I didn't get any pictures this year so I had to settle for pictures from last year.
