Naked cyclists


What were you doing this week-end readers?

Hundreds of intrepid cyclists across Britain ditched their clothes and cycled naked through our major cities.

Was it the heat?
Was it summer madness?
Were they promoting nudism?

No, it was a desperate attempt by environmentalists to get people to take climate change seriously. It was also a peaceful protest against our dependency on oil, and the car culture.
On a serious note, cyclists are incredibly vulnerable in traffic, and their nakedness highlighted this fact.

I've been on Critical Mass rides - but this was a little too exposed for me. Nobody needs to see me nude.

You are too modest - people would turn out in droves to see a vole on a bicycle!
