The event we’ve all been waiting for… The World Naked Bike Ride is happening at 4:30 pm Saturday, June 14, and this year the ride was gather at 4 pm at the east end of Skinner Butte Park, just north of the Campbell Community Center. If you need a GPS, the rough address is 200 E. Cheshire.
The flyer says, “We will join thousands of other cyclists around the world to protest oil dependence and celebrate the power and individuality of our bodies … We will ride nude (or nearly nude) to symbolize the fact that bicyclists are vulnerable sharing the road with 2-ton metal monsters spewing toxic fumes and all of us are vulnerable because of our addiction to fossil fuels. ”

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
