* The police were perfect, calm and extremely well organized.
* The weather abruptly changed to clear and cool, perfect for working up body
heat.
* All elements of event production operated well.
* Participants were extremely jubilant and joyful and positive and friendly.
* The spectators were so well behaved that it restored my faith in humanity.
The route was mostly pleasant and steady, with massive exposure. Untold
thousands saw us and rejoiced! I am so very proud of our city, and of the
courage and wits of its people young and old. We've really achieved something
amazing here.
Among the stories I was flooded with all night, the one I heard variations of
most is the the one I tell, that Chicago for cyclists and skaters, for most of
the year, is practically heaven. No need for vacations, nor driving, nor big
sports, when there’s lakes and paths.
I've created a forum for happy stories. Be among the first to post:

Preliminary MASS COUNT VIDEO has been posted on YouTube.
"World Naked Bike Ride Chicago #6. Very low res, for head/body/bike count use
only. About 3:32, captured at about 9:30pm, fully a half-hour into the ride on
the way out from downtown, westbound on Chicago near Rush or State."
I've counted three times with results hundreds apart, but was very tired.
PLEASE others try as well. Getting counts from multiple people matters. Note
that it is almost a third longer duration than 2008's count video.

Boundless sincere gratitude goes to mayor Richard M Daley and to the Chicago
Police for their tolerance and tacit facilitation of this ride happening safely.
This and other massive local rides tangibly show Chicago's ongoing commitment to
being a notably bike-friendly U.S. city.
