There were a few cheeky sights on various public transportation services across the world yesterday as people stripped off for the 12th annual ‘No Pants Subway Ride’.

Commuters around the world stripped off to their jocks for the 12th annual ‘No Pants Subway Ride’, which started out as a laugh back in 2002 when a New York theatre group called Improv Everywhere decided to wear just their underpants on the subway. Sure why not?

Since then, ‘No Pants Subway Ride’ day has spread worldwide with semi-nude events being held in over 60 different countries.

Sadly (or thankfully, depending on your view), the ‘No Pants Subway Ride’ usually only takes place in underground train stations, so that lad walking around the 77a yesterday evening without his underwear on was up to something else entirely…

You can check out some of the best pics from the ‘No Pants Subway Ride’ day from all over the world in the gallery above, but be warned: if you’re expecting Victoria’s Secrets standards of ‘bare arse’ then you may be sorely disappointed…
