Does wearing nothing but a helmet count as being naked?

Saturday evening, thousands of cyclists showed off their biker bodies at the Philly Naked Bike Ride.

The 10-mile nude bike ride website says the race supports, "Riding together to promote fuel conscious consumption, positive body image, and cycling advocacy."

Even though it's technically a naked bike ride, many participants choose to ride in underwear or cover their bodies in paint.

Their FAQ section reads, "We want people to be as comfortable and have as much fun as possible, no matter how much or how little of their body is exposed."

The Philly Naked Bike Ride has a strict code of conduct, as detailed on their website, which prevents all forms of sexual harassment.

The ride typically takes most participants two to three hours, as the organization encourages riders to move at a slow pace to promote conversation and better traffic flow.

Participants who are nude on the lower half tend to cover their seat with bandanas or towels – which is surely the right move if their bike was rented from a a ride share program.

Here are some more photos from the colorful day.
