Naked bike riders demonstrate against federal troops in 'quintessentially Portland' protest

SUMMARY

Thousands of protesters participated in a naked bike ride in Portland, Oregon, on October 12, 2025, to oppose federal troops in the city. This impromptu event was organized against President Trump's moves to mobilize the National Guard amid ongoing protests. Riders, some adorned in costumes, emphasized their unusual form of protest as they pedaled through the streets, stating that "Joy is a form of protest." Authorities warned against street protests but riders continued towards the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility. The event proceeded despite the rainy weather.
