Philly Is The Best City For Naked Bike Riding In America

Philly Is The Best City For Naked Bike Riding In America

Yes, you read that right. If you want to ride your bike in the buff travel up 95 to the City of Brotherly Love.

Setting aside how uncomfortable it may sound, Philadelphia is the top spot for naked cyclists.

“Philadelphia streaks to the top overall and in Nudist-Friendliness. While there isn’t a sizable nudist population in the City of Brotherly Love, full public nudity is allowed in Philly — as long as you aren’t being “lewd.” It also is legal to be topless throughout Pennsylvania, making the city a beacon for biking in the buff” LawnStarter says.

Philly ranked 6th in naked bike riding popularity, 22nd in being cycle friendly, 1st overall in being nudist friendly, 101st in safety ranking, and 123rd in climate.

Baltimore was ranked as the 61st best city for naked bike riding. Patterson, Jersey City, and Newark all made the second half of the list.

It is no secret that naked bike riding in Philadelphia is popular.

Philly has an ANNUAL naked bike ride and it’s only a few months away!

“Organizers of the annual jaunt to promote fuel conservation and positive body image said Wednesday they are holding the Aug. 26 starting location and route under wraps and will disclose them the day before. Previous rides have zipped past sites including Independence Hall, the U.S. Mint, the Liberty Bell and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where Sylvester Stallone sprinted up the steps in “Rocky.” The 2020 ride was called off because of the coronavirus pandemic” NBC10 reports.

The ride runs about 10 miles and 3,000 riders participate! The ride was originally in the fall but, not shockingly, riders complained the temperatures were too low.

All that I ask is that you wear a helmet if you plan on riding.

Top 10 Smelliest States

The Top 10 smelliest states in the United States of America may come as a surprise to some. But for those who live in the listed states below, they can probably agree with the ranking. Delaware actually does make the list, along with some of its neighbors. (So we’re basically just living in a cesspool of filth).

The research listed below, comes from Zippia. To rank the states, they first looked at percentage of land to landfill in all 50 states, as well as the quality of air. After conducting this research, they then made the rankings more finite by looking into population density and dental health to measure bad breath.

  • 10. Mississippi

    Mississippi makes the top 10, at #10 for most smelliest states. According to Zippia’s research, Mississippi has the worst oral health. And with bad dental health, comes bad breath.

  • 9. Pennsylvania

    Delaware’s neighbors, Pennsylvania, is a very crowded state. If you take into account the population density, you’re bound to get some smells that aren’t too pleasant.

  • 8. New York

    Similar to Pennsylvania, New York becomes even more crowded and smelly. If you’ve ever been, you’ve seen the trash on the sidewalks. You can’t go to New York without seeing it somewhere.

  • 7. New Jersey

    New Jersey has more trash than they know what to do with apparently. They have the highest percentage of landfill to land in the whole country.

  • 6. Alabama

    Alabama makes the list based solely on their poor air quality. Doesn’t help that they have pretty poor dental hygiene too.

  • 5. Massachusetts

    All factors combined, Massachusetts makes the list of smelliest states at number 5. Many people, poor air quality, bad hygiene, all play a role in this stinky state.

  • 4. Delaware

    Delaware makes the list! Almost top 3…rats. Delaware, like New Jersey, has a trash problem. Delaware is home to more landfill than many other states.

  • 3. Florida

    I’m sure the constant heat doesn’t help Florida’s stench at all. The thought of trash baking in the hot sun makes me want to gag. Mind you, many people are sweating…constantly.

  • 2. California

    California’s hipsters aren’t wearing deodorant! Just kidding. California is said to have some of the worst air quality in the country.

  • 1. Maryland

    The East Coast really is a stinky place. Maryland takes the cake at number 1 according to Zippia. All factors combined, plus their love of seafood makes this smaller state a very stinky one. In fact, the stinkiest, smelliest state out of all 50 states.
