Philly Naked Bike Ride

September 5 marks the 2nd annual Philly Naked Bike Ride (PNBR) as the Philadelphia City Paper reports. Starting at dusk riders will meet and ride in the nude, in underwear or with body paint (it's clothing optional). Naked bike rides are happening in many countries throughout the world.

To find out where the ride starts participants have to sign up for the email list at PNBR's website. If you're wondering why people gather to ride bikes naked, the World Naked Bike Ride site states the goal is to celebrate cycling and the human body.

So if you don't yet have any plans for this labor day weekend, check out the Red Bull Flugtag on Saturday and PNBR on Sunday.

Safe and exciting travels.

Labor Day

The first Monday in September (this year September 6) marks Labor Day, a national holiday dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. We also mark that day as the unofficial end of summer.

Around the world, labor day is traditionally celebrated on May 1 and is also known as May Day and is characterized by dancing around the maypole and other ancient customs associated with the celebration of spring.

One event happening on Saturday, September 4 in Philadelphia is the Red Bull Flugtag. At 1 p.m. 34 teams will show and test their homemade flying machines by soaring off a 30-foot high flight deck. This is the first time that Flugtag (= "flight/ flying day"in German) will be in Philadelphia and it will be interesting to see the designs dedicated to human-powered flight.

Location: Camden Water Front, Pier 1
                1 Cooper St, Camden, NJ

Gates open at 11 a.m. and the first flight is at 1 p.m.

Most of all this event is FREE and vendors will be on sight selling food and beverages, including beer.
