Underwear Mass & Dance Party 2015 is a bike ride & skate in support of gender equality. This will be the 5th female led, male supported ride that advocates positive body image and gender equality. The ride takes place the last Friday in July and more than 1,000 Chicago Critical Mass participants are encouraged to bike in their underwear.
In 2009 one female led the ride. In 2012 two females led the ride. In 2013, 4 females led the ride. In 2014 17 women took the lead, we hope 79 females will lead the ride in 2015. Seventy-nine symbolizes the number of years that males have had the right to be top free in America but not females. In solidarity with women we’re hoping 79 males will cover their nipples with orange tape or stickers to draw visual attention to the silly and unfair criminalization of the female nipple: see Chicago municipal ordinance 8-8-080.
The Ride ends at an Underwear Dance Party in support of gender equality. The movement: GET IN (your underwear), GET ON (your bike), and GET OFF (your hang-ups)...riding through the streets of Chicago in our underwear in support of green transportation, gender equality, and positive body image. Let your skin breathe!
All bodies are celebrated…board it, skate it, bike it, love it! Body paints, sound bikes and contraptions, minimal attire, and good energy are all welcome here!
Daley Plaza, 5:00 p.m.
