Not a chance at my age and having family. If I won't ride a bike wearing lycra, I sure won't ride a bike wearing "nature's lycra". 
Maybe when I was in my 20s before I was married and had kids, but riding with the extra kickstand would have been embarrassing.

Virtually none of the riders are naked. More like a topless ride and half the riders don't meet that criteria. If riding in shorts counts as being naked, I'd do it.

It's bad enough that the general public see me in a pair of tight bike shorts. So that would be a NO

When I first started reading this site, I assumed the old jokes about "sniffing bike seats" would be flying right and left, but after spending years reading tens of thousands of posts, this is the first mention of the phenomenon that I can recall. Mad Magazine and National Lampoon got a lot of mileage out of bike seat sniffing humor BITD, I think we can do a lot better here with respect to that.
