On Saturday, candid cyclists gathered in San Francisco to take part in the World Naked Bike Ride. How did it go? Don't ask us. This editor is saddled with red hair and thus diaphanous skin. There's not high enough SPF in the world to get us on a bike at noon with our blinding, milky flesh on display for the world to see. Perish the thought. Immediately. However, according to worldnakedbikeride.org, the fleshy ride was a smash. more ›

SF Weekly has some jarring jogging news that went down on Sunday. Behold: more ›

On a glacial Sunday morning, many randy riders headed to the Powell Street BART station sans pants for the annual "No Pants" BART Ride. Here are some images from Sunday morning's scandalous ride. more ›

Our words cannot do this film justice, so we'll allow you to read the email Morgain Tepsic just sent to SFIst. Ahem: more ›

Oh, the zany things that happen north of San Francisco. And by "zany," we mean "methy." Presumably. Take, for example, a naked man who "ran up and down Lemur Street in west Santa Rosa, breaking into homes Saturday night before being chased back into his own house by a group of teenagers wielding a baseball bat." more ›

Yesterday was World Naked Bike Ride, "an international demonstration in protest of our dependence on fossil fuels," and davitydave captured the San Francisco starting point at Justin Herman Plaza. Check out davitydave's Flickr page for all of the glorious NSFW photos. more ›

With a tagline of "Seeking a cure for Multiple Sclerosis, one laugh at a time," you can't mock San Francisco Clown College's Naked Clown Calendar 2009, which they've recently unleashed. While decried by The Village Voice as a "disappointment," the calendar isn't half bad. (For a truly bizarre moment, check out the video promoting the calendar, which goes from loud clown circus act to off-off-off-off-off Broadway musical in seconds.) more ›

Warning: NSFW. more ›

Snapped up by Octoferret, this bit of amber graffiti is also a spooky optical illusion! more ›

A disrobed lady disrupted traffic this morning on I-80 at around 5:45 a.m. It seems that the fully naked female was running in and out of traffic willy-nilly on the busy freeway, requiring the CHP and Berkeley police and fire department to bring her down. She was finally taken into custody after jiggling over to the stables at Golden Gate Fields. She has been sent to a local hospital for a medical (and presumably mental) check.

Just a few days before people were performing fellatio in the streets of San Francisco, New York City's famed Naked Cowboy was arrested in Union Square. Sporting a cowboy hat, a guitar, and some "skin-tight underpants" (hey, that's technically not naked!), Robert Burck was picked up by SFPD for "performing his act in a restricted area." Burck, according to reports, was ticked for violating "rules posted in Union Square against soliciting and playing an instrument."(Whew. Way to keep the streets of SF safe, SFPD!) Burck is due in court today. more ›

Yesterday's Up Your Alley Fair is what the Folsom Street Fair used to be before all the tourists pushing baby strollers started showing up. More than 8,000 leather daddies -- and as many as perhaps a dozen biological women -- braved the cold fog wearing little more than a gimp mask and a smile to benefit PAWS, the AIDS Emergency Fund, and others. We tried to limit the amount of naked penis visible in these shots, but in that kind of environment there's only so much a photographer can do. The fully-lubed, unexpurgated photoset can be can be found at DJTennessee's flickr page, as well as a few over at Nature abhors a vacuum. more ›

KRON 4's two bestest fag-hags (Catherine Heenan, Jan Wahl) and Donna Sachet inexplicably managed to do a decent job covering this year's LGBT Pride Parade. (Bonus points go to field reporter Henry Tenenbaum who didn't know how to pronounce Kamala Harris' name, must to her disgust.) But, of course, their coverage focused on blindly happy, newly married queer couples and their doomed -- doomed, we say! -- children. Gross. more ›

We've received a few curt emails this afternoon, upset over our use of the image in "Strip Club Etiquette: De-tipping?" Sexy, no? But It seems if we post a female form that's neither a tweaked out, Nair-estranged Burning Man girl, nor a zaftig, of-a-certain age Codepink protester, many of you dear readers get all aflutter. (PS, though, we thank you for sending us personal email on off-topic discussions such as this.) more ›

San Francisco took part in the World Naked Bike Ride this past weekend. This critical mass protesting dependency on fossil fuels/an excuse to see women's breasts seems more popular abroad than over here, but a few local, nude riders managed to make it out. more ›

Oh my. Um, yeah, we'll let Flickr's artolog explain the above. more ›
