On Sunday, January 8th, 2017 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 16th Annual No Pants Subway Ride took place in windy 22F degree weather and was spread out over seven meeting points and eleven subway lines. Enjoy the video first and then go behind the scenes with our mission report and photos.

If you’re unfamiliar with this event, you might want to first read our history of The No Pants Subway Ride. Since this is the 16th year we’ve done this, there’s not too much to report other than it was another awesome time.

Although I do want to give a shout out to the dog who participated.

Finally, here’s a very funny, extended look at one guy’s reaction to this year’s No Pants Subway Ride, as filmed by a random person on the train. Warning, NSFW language.

Mission Accomplished.
