Nude bikers will strip down and cycle all over Brooklyn and Manhattan as part of the World Naked Bike Ride on Saturday.

Cyclists have decided to take to the streets in order to protest quality of life issues including the use of fossil fuels and to promote the human form with their bare bodies, the New York Daily News reported.

The "bare as you dare" group ride allows riders to apply body paint, pasties and even hot pants for modest look.

Meanwhile, organizer Benjamin Shepard, who's planning to wear Freddie Mercury-style short-shorts, told the publication that the naked truth is that the people need a lot more freedom in this city.

City law allows women to go topless, but going bottomless is frowned upon.

Riders, who don't own their own bikes but still want to be part of the fleshy gathering, are welcomed to use a Citi Bike.

The secret route, which will only be given to riders before they hit the road, will include tours of Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Manhattan.
