It doesn&#8217;t have to be huge, just big enough that you&#8217;re not alone.<\/li> <li>Have a plan and know the laws. For example, In Burlington, VT you can be naked in public but you cannot get naked in public. It might also be nice to have clothes stashed somewhere so you don&#8217;t have to pedal home naked.<\/li> <li>Don&#8217;t forget the basics! Make sure you have a safe, working bike and all the accessories you might need. Shoes, helmets, lights, and a repair kit are all great ideas. Consider the time of day and consult local laws on lights and helmets.<\/li> <\/ol> <p><strong>How does one gear up for a clothing-optional bike ride?<\/strong><\/p> <p>It&#8217;s probably a better question to ask how to gear down. Get dressed for a regular bike ride and lose the clothes!<\/p> <p><strong>Judging by the lack of nudist-friendly laws in the U.S., public nudity is considered taboo in our country. How likely is this to change in the near and far future?<\/strong><\/p> <p>I don&#8217;t think this is likely to change in a big way anytime soon. There will continue to be thrill-seekers interested in things like streaking, naked biking, or skinny-dipping, but I don&#8217;t see a huge push to normalize public nudity. There are some real perks to wearing clothing and I think we can all agree there are more important issues to address in this country.<\/p> <p><strong>Some cities in our ranking registered high volumes of Google searches for the term \u201cnaked bike ride\u201d over the past 12 months but ranked low overall, which suggests high interest in the event. What gives?<\/strong><\/p> <p>I question your assumption that elevated google search levels necessarily indicate local interest in participating. It seems that this apparently inconsistent combination of metrics might appear in locales that have a high degree of curiosity about naked bike rides as they occur in other places without interest in replicating those events. However, these cities are probably good picks for an aspiring ride organizer as this curiosity could likely be transformed into interest.<\/p>             <\/div>            <\/div>          <\/div>              <\/div> <\/div>  <p><a class=\"js-anchor\" id=\"methodology\"><\/a><\/p>   <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methodology<\/h2>    <p>First, we determined the factors (metrics) that are most relevant to rank the Best Cities for Naked Biking. We then assigned a weight to each factor based on its importance and grouped those factors into five categories: Naked Biking Popularity, Cyclist-Friendliness, Nudist-Friendliness, Climate, and Safety. The categories, factors, and their weights are listed in the table below.<\/p>    <p>For each of the 500 biggest U.S. cities, we then gathered data on each factor from the sources listed below the table.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Finally, we calculated scores (out of 100 points) for each city to determine its rank in each factor, each category, and overall. A city\u2019s Overall Score is the average of its scores across all factors and categories. The highest Overall Score ranked \u201cBest\u201d (No. 1) and the lowest \u201cWorst\u201d (No. 500).<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle wp-block-ub-content-toggle-block\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-block-ba062dec-1f8c-442e-87bc-dfa8476e9279\" data-mobilecollapse=\"true\" data-desktopcollapse=\"true\" data-preventcollapse=\"false\" data-showonlyone=\"false\"> <div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion\" style=\"border-color: #f1f1f1; \" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-block-\"> \t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title-wrap\" style=\"background-color: #f1f1f1;\" aria-controls=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-0-ba062dec-1f8c-442e-87bc-dfa8476e9279\" tabindex=\"0\"> \t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title ub-content-toggle-title-ba062dec-1f8c-442e-87bc-dfa8476e9279\" style=\"color: #000000; \">Notes:<\/p> \t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-toggle-wrap right\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-state-indicator wp-block-ub-chevron-down\"><\/span><\/div> \t\t<\/div> \t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-content-wrap ub-hide\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-0-ba062dec-1f8c-442e-87bc-dfa8476e9279\">  <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>The \u201cWorst\u201d among individual factors may not be 500 due to ties.<\/li> <\/ul>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><em>Due to <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wric.com\/news\/taking-action\/virginia-sex-offender-registry-displaying-inaccurate-data-for-months\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>inaccuracies<\/em><\/a><em> in the Virginia State Police\u2019s sex offender registry, the data used in our study related to sex offenders in Virginia may be incorrect.
