Up to a thousand, mostly semi-naked cyclists took to the streets in the city of Thessaloniki Greece, as part of the “World Naked Bike Ride” a clothing- optional bike ride, with the aim of raising awareness about environmental issues, and demand more cycling-friendly roads.
The World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) is a global movement that began in 2004 and has now spread to more than 70 cities throughout the world, each of which organise an annual WNBR to promote the use of bicycles and celebrate the human body. The first ride in Greece was organised in the city of Thessaloniki on June 27, 2008 and the following year on June 4, 2009.
