One day each year, subway riders band together to make their commutes a little stranger than usual, as many participate in the annual No Pants Subway Ride. Passengers will brave the cold and leave their pants at home Sunday in more than 60 cities around the world, including Boston, London and New York.What began as a prank by seven guys in 2002 has now ballooned into an event that spans more than 25 countries. The yearly event has even given rise to a documentary feature “We Cause Scenes,” which is available through Netflix.Every January, the group Improv Everywhere organizes the No Pants Subway Ride. In New York, thousands of people participate in the event. They are requested to keep straight faces as they embark on their pantsless subway rides.“The idea behind No Pants is simple: Random passengers board a subway car at separate stops in the middle of winter without pants,” the organizers said on the event site. “The participants behave as if they do not know each other, and they all wear winter coats, hats, scarves and gloves. The only unusual thing is their lack of pants.”
