Bicyclists planning a protest ride through Brooklyn are calling it their “Freedom Ride” — free of clothing, that is.

The activists want to go topless during Saturday’s ride.

They say Mayor Michael Bloomberg has erased a bike lane from an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood because some residents don’t want to see scantily clad women.

But in Williamsburg, the well-covered Jewish faithful say skimpy clothing is not the issue.

Leo Moskowitz says the bike path keeps school buses from stopping near the curb, and his five kids can get knocked down by bikes.

A Bloomberg spokesman points out that the city is keeping another bike lane on another block in Williamsburg that’s safer — a two-way path protected by a row of parked vehicles.
