Here's something you don't see everyday-Naked cyclists in oil protest ride

[dogday]

A group of naked cyclists took part in a bike ride to protest against oil dependency and to "celebrate the human body."

Crowds gathered as about 100 people set off from Hyde Park corner, London, in the World Naked Bike Ride past some of the capital's most famous landmarks.

Most of them stripped fully naked for the 10km (6.2 miles) cycle past Piccadilly Circus, Big Ben, Covent Garden, Oxford Street and the United States Embassy.

Some bikes were decked out with banners reading 'Oil is not a bare necessity but a crude obsession' and 'Support the trade justice movement'.

2. photos?

[uppityperson]

3. More from the article but STILL no pictures

One of the organisers, Chad Neilson, 24, from North London, said part of the ride was to celebrate the human body.

"It's a protest against oil dependency and car culture and the overuse of cars for unnecessary reasons. There is too much pollution, it stinks in London, and we use too much fossil fuel. I think people should be a lot more comfortable with their bodies. There is nothing wrong with the naked body."

Under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 exposing oneself is against the law if a man or woman does it knowing that they might cause alarm or distress.

A spokesman for Scotland Yard said an officer had the power to arrest if an offence had been committed but he added: "Speaking generally, officers clearly have the power to exercise their discretion." He said police were aware of the event and had reminded organisers to adhere to traffic regulations and the highway code.

14. I wish they wouldn't mix these issues

Celebrating the human body and oil protest to me...doesn't have jack shit to do with each other.

They should celebrate their nudeness in a seperate bike jaunt or something IMO

20. If you want frontal pics look for the 'Eduard Koller' link that

is just below the third photo on the page - Seattle ride...
<http://www.barewitness.org/worldnakedbikeride04.html>

The photos are plenty frontal, and in my opinion, a lot more tasteful than the commercial for the "New Gilligan's Island" that is running on TBS on TV -- the one in which Ginger and MaryAnn have a pie fight and then playfully wrestle on the picnic table.

A :toast: to the people who rode naked -- if the MSM won't cover anything that doesn't titilate (like the court case of a possible pedophile) then maybe we should march naked to get the MSM to cover the Downing Street Minutes and all other evidence of * lies.
