Hundreds of Vancouver cyclists doffed their drawers on Saturday afternoon for a global nude protest against oil dependency and car culture. The annual World Naked Bike Ride began streaking across the city at 2 p.m. at the corner of Beach Avenue and Bute Street. The event has been taking place since 2001 in some 25 countries and 70 cities. Organizers say it is intended to celebrate cycling and the human body, and protest against what organizers call indecent exposure to automobile emissions.
