Casi Brink and Anthony Art get ready for the annual Freedom From Pants Ride in Minneapolis on Tuesday, July 4, 2023. The ride is always held on Independence Day to celebrate freedom in a unique way – by freedom from standard clothes. This year's ride started on Nicollet Island under the Hennepin Avenue Bridge, went through Loring Park, and ended at the Martin Olav Sabo Bridge.
