Columbus one of the country’s best cities for naked bike rides

Columbus is a city that wears many hats, but according to a new LawnStarter study, part of the Arch City’s appeal comes from what it’s not always wearing.

The study ranked Columbus as the country’s 16th-best city for naked bike rides. Last year, the same study had Ohio’s Capital City as the 15th-best town for nude biking.

Unusually specific? Yes. Awesome nonetheless? Also yes.
