This is NOT a pride event.

“The solstice bike ride is still an unofficial part of the Solstice Parade, but it’s an annual tradition that goes back 30 years to when the first two naked bike riders crashed the 1993 Fremont Solstice Parade. It’s a momentary almost magical space when social norms and people’s personal limits are suspended. People’s feelings of vulnerability transform into self-expression, and they form an art space unlike any other in the city when they group up and ride together.”

Fair.

But it’s a quite well known event, having been held annually for years, so caveat emptor.

See my post. Naked races have been around at least since 2007? Every year this happens. Why no complaints then ?

Ohh so pride folks can’t be naked but wealthy bicyclists can ? Those bikes are very expensive and they sure have the free time to ride, so I presume they have money and are heterosexual.

Every video I’ve seen shows it’s at the Pride parade.

All of the signs say some version of “Pride”.

Naked men parading in front of women

I had no idea it was that cold in Seattle in June.
