After Republicans tried to ban it last year, the World Naked Bike Ride returns to Madison Wisconsin
I have not participated but certainly sat with others having a brew on State Street as the bikers went pedaled by.
We just waved. Personally, I would think it would be uncomfortable.
Anyways, it is a rather lengthy article-includes how some legislators tried to ban it.

MADISON – Less than a year after lawmakers in the state Capitol attempted to ban it, the World Naked Bike Ride made a triumphant return to downtown Madison on Saturday.
About 200 participants rolled toward the statehouse around 11:30 a.m., soliciting cheers, high fives, waves, cellphone photos and causing some adults and children to look away.
Many take part in the ride as an expression of body positivity and as a protest of greenhouse gas emissions. Other participants say the ride helps their confidence and mental health, or attend after surviving breast cancer and having mastectomies.
Holly McEntee, who has participated about seven times, had seen the ride happen in the past but was struck when she saw a short film about it.................
