First of all, this year’s naked bike ride was my very first.

Secondly, it was lots of fun even with all of the naked dudes and drunken people. 

I literally locked my bike up and someone was handing me a PBR, also a first for the night.

(This is me with said PBR in hand)

I was so glad to be able to ride my bike with so many people last night, although I will admit that I had moments of frustration when I felt I couldn’t break free from all of the drunk and/or inexperienced cyclists out there. 

Anyways, my top 5 highlights of the night:

• Riding my bike, of course
• Watching all the guys air out their crotches and not so secretly regretting riding without pants on their tiny seats
• The ridiculous people of Saint Louis that did not make it out for the ride but chose to line the streets and cheer on everyone that did
• The sheer amount of people that came out on their bikes

Last but not least

• Guy with the wicked “cockstache”

If you are digging my South Side Cyclery t-shirt recon, check out this video and try it out yourself. If you are like me and have a larger shirt to start out with then I suggest cutting up the back and re-stitching to fit.
