@Matt answer is good, you can optimize its syntax by writing:

app.get('/foo', express.bodyParser, function (req, res, next) {
    // parsed request
});

app.use() allows you to specify a "mount path", as well as which middleware to mount, so you should be able to get away with;

app.use('/foo', express.bodyParser);

As express.bodyParser returns a function whose signature is req, res, next (as with all middleware), this seems analagous to adding it as a handler to a resource;

app.get('/foo', express.bodyParser);
app.get('/foo', function (req, res, next) {
    // req has been parsed.
});
