PHOTOS: No Pants Subway Ride NYC 2016

New York City gets cheeky on the subway – literally.

On Sunday, hundreds of New Yorkers participated in the annual No Pants Subway Ride event. The event started 15 years ago as a prank by a group of seven friends who thought it would be funny to ride the subway without wearing pants. Since then, it has become an internationally celebrated event.

Check out some of the action from this year’s No Pants Subway Ride in New York City.

Only with the ladies’ permission! They were cool to pose for me. ? I found it bizarre that I was eye level with all this skin, my mistake for sitting, but hey, more power to you ladies. Who knows, maybe next year….? #nopantssubwayride #fierceladies
