Portland's Battle of the Naked Bike Rides

Portland’s got a robust cycling community, which is epitomized by the annual World Naked Bike Ride. But this year, things are getting a little complicated: Portland is set to host two naked bike rides, just weeks apart.

Today on City Cast Portland, Willamette Week arts and culture reporter Rachel Saslow joins executive producer John Notarianni to break it all down.
