Congratulations! We have now arrived at a point in our civilization at which organizers of the annual Philly Naked Bike Ride saw fit to hold the event in August instead of September, because those chilly September winds threatened to freeze the WaWas off the riders.
So, they had the event in late August, and you don't have to be nekkid as a jaybird to participate. They had riders "in various states of undress" around the City of Brotherly Love, riding their Schwinns and getting cheered all over.
It's all for a good cause, promoting riding a bike as a key form of transportation and "fuel-conspicuous consumption." As an aside, it encourages body positivity, as people get as bare as they dare.
They even have folks riding skateboards and scooters and rollerblades - any form of "human-powered transportation” is fine.
I don't mean to brag, but in my fair city of Baltimore, people scooting around au naturel is not going to be a thing. You rent a bike to take part, and who knows where that seat has been?
