The annual World Naked Bike Ride was held this weekend in the streets of St. Louis.

Hundreds of riders participated this year in the annual event.

The bikers pedaled through South St. Louis, Soulard, downtown, the Central West End and into the Grove on Saturday night.

The ride started years ago as a protest against oil.

Now it’s just an excuse to get naked in public.

This year the event was interrupted by a man with a paint ball gun who started firing on the naked riders.

The Riverfront Times captured an image of the culprit.

The man rushed the street with his paintball gun and plastered the riders with paint.
