Organizers of the Philly Naked Bike Ride are promoting the September 5th event on the Internet, and praising Philadelphia police for their efforts last year.

Several hundred riders were at last year's event and many weren't naked.

But organizers worked with police to keep any incidents to a minimum and the ride was held on the Schuylkill River Trail.

The event is intended to bring attention to bicyclists and raise awareness about fuel consumption.

Similar rides have happened in more than 70 cities worldwide since 2004.

This time, organizers are using Facebook to help get riders to the event on time.
