Austin World Naked Bike Ride 2010 (and booty bounce)!
Update: The Onion AV Club just published an article on tomorrow's World Naked Bike Ride! NICE!
Also for people who followed the link here from The Onion, here's the new and Safe(r) For Work flyer:
Thanks for the article Devon, and for the flyer Corinne! Remember folks, TOMORROW IS THE DAY! Be at Pease Park at 7pm if you want to do some body painting, or at 8pm if you want to ride like you are. Also, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to come up with enough body paint for ALL the masses, so if you've got some to spare BRING IT!
Hey folks, we're just a little over a week from the international World Naked Bike Ride, and it's about time Austin got back in the game as far as hosting an event goes, so here it is, the Austin World Naked Bike Ride (AND BOOTY BOUNCE!):
Sorry for the shitty flyer, a better one is being worked on by someone MUCH more artistic than I.
This bare-as-you-dare (nude or not) bike ride is an international clothing-optional event to protest oil dependency, exhibit our right to the road as vulnerable users and celebrate the beauty of the human form in a body-positive way. Join cyclists from all around the world by taking part in this annual celebration of bike (and human-powered) culture. Feel free to wear as little as you're comfortable in, paint your body, ride a bike, ride a board, rollerskate, bring a banner, instruments, music makers, streamers, but most importantly, bring YOURSELF and ALL your friends! Meet at Pease Park before the ride for body painting, music, and fun. Following the ride there WILL be a BOOTY BOUNCE Dance Party at Empire (near 7th and Red River).
The plan is to meet up Saturday, June 12th at 7pm if you want to get painted, or 8pm if you're ready to ride. We'll be gathering near the picnic tables at Pease Park, aka. right here:
From there we'll take a short ride around town, stopping here and there to celebrate being awesome, before finally pulling in at the Titty Pop Booty Drop dance party!
So I was the guy who ate some pavement and got knocked out at the Capitol on the ride. I am doing fine but I have no idea what happened. Did anyone see me go down? Also, there was a rider named Ash who helped me... I wanted to tell her thanks. And did anyone find my orange camera bag? Thanks
Copied straight from there --

Erik Kaiser Bamberg ... What happened was we were riding around the capital. Suddenly, around a turn, there were metal cords blocking off all but two side exits each about 3 or so feet wide. Being at the front gave plenty of time to make do, but you were in a middle crowd that quickly braked or huddled into each other, knowing not where to go. A crash ensued, and yeah, you were knocked the fuck out. Glad to see you are okay!

... I didn't see it, but you seemed to be in good hands afterwards (and the people handling it were trying to get people to move on) so I didn't stick around.
And for people looking for pictures, including a few of you knocked out ...

No idea about your bag. I don't see it in the pictures I took either.
Woman should ride on the outside so the cops are distracted by the boobies and don't ticket the guys for the junk.
I already pooped in excitement.
yippeeee
