It Was #NoPantsSubwayRide Day In Cities Around The World

This past weekend, folks all over the globe took part in what has become a highly-awaited annual event – The No Pants Subway Ride.

Begun in 2002 by the New York City street theatre group Improv Everywhere, the event has spread to Chicago, Amsterdam, London, Toronto, Calgary, and more.

The rules are simple: Board the subway in the middle of the winter acting as if all is completely normal, except no pants wearing allowed.

In some cities, groups organize meet-ups at specific times and locations to participate en masse.

It seems to be one of the few times subway authorities take on a ‘no pants, no problem’ policy.

Repost @chicagotribune by @media.repost: If your Red Line ride was a bit interesting today, as you witnessed someone disrobe on your car, try not to worry — that person is (probably) part of the annual No Pants Ride. ⠀ ⠀ Wannabe exhibitionists, aspiring comedians and fans of non-threatening nudity took to the CTA Red Line Sunday for the No Pants Subway Ride. Organizers said at least 110 people took part this year, which was the eighth year the ride has been held in Chicago. ⠀ ⠀ The No Pants Subway Ride began in New York City as a project of Improv Everywhere and has spawned concurrent rides throughout the world, including Chicago. Click the link in our bio for more scenes from this year's ride. (John J. Kim/Chicago Tribune) #nopantssubwayride #cta #chicagotravel #chicagocomedy
