Grist thanks its sponsors. Become one.

On Sunday, January 12th, 2014 tens of thousands of people took off their pants on subways in over 60 cities in over 25 countries around the world. In New York, our 13th Annual No Pants Subway Ride had over 4,000 participants, spread out over seven meeting points and eleven subway lines.

No thanks to YOU, spoilsport. (We concede that driving pantless to church or the mall doesn’t quite have the same effect.) Participants ranged from 3 months old to 71, which means you REALLY have no excuse. Start preppin’ for 2015 now, Lord Hiddencalf!
