Hundreds expected to join naked bike ride throughout Columbus this week

The World Naked Bike Ride Columbus is officially returning for 2024.

The annual event, which, as you can probably guess from the name, involves a whole lot of people biking with or without clothes, will take place on Aug. 31 at 7 p.m.

An after-party will continue this year until 11 p.m.

This year’s route and starting point will be announced on 8/29 on the Columbus World Naked Bike Ride Facebook page. 

Billed as an “international clothing-optional event,” the ride typically also promotes freedoms from oil, hence the bicycles. This year, a new organizing team is behind the ride.

According to organizer David Weasley, a large number of riders are expected for weekend’s event.

“We’re anticipating a very large turnout this year, with over 25 organizers & volunteers supporting the event and expected attendance is between 100-250 riders,” Weasley said.
