The Solstice naked bike ride is hitting Seattle’s streets & here’s when

What’s a more Seattle way to welcome summer than the Solstice Parade? The 33rd annual Fremont celebration is back this year and just as creative as years past. Of course, the parade wouldn’t be complete without the colorful Solstice naked bike ride, and here’s when the riders are hitting the streets.

While naked, the Solstice Cyclists are actually most notably known for their creative body paint. From simple single colors to intricate designs, costumes, and more, these riders usually go all out.
