Reports about London, Madrid, Mexico City, Montreal and Paris by the 24 hr international newschannel France 24 on this years World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR), held around the world on Saturday June 9.
In London, 700 cyclists in various states of undress were reported to have gambolled through central London in another leg of the World Naked Bike Ride, while similar events happened in Manchester, Southampton and York.
In Madrid, not known to be a biker’s paradise, about 300 cyclists took part in a good-humoured parade through the heart of the city.
Authorities generally turned a blind eye to one of the world’s more outlandish environmental protests, apart from in Paris where five of the unabashed riders were arrested for so-called “sexual exhibition”.
Most of the 400 people, including 160 on bikes, gathered for the Paris event decided that discretion was the better part of valour and fearing arrest redonned clothes and dispersed.
