Re: World Naked Bike Ride 10/6/06 AKA - a protest about the use of, and reliance on, oil products.



Oh no you don't. The bike ride is about a number of issues, not just
a protest about over-reliance on oil. The ride's origins lie in the
anti-war protest rides organised by Conrad Schmidt - Artists for
Peace/Artists Against War (AFP/AAW).

It is also to "celebrate the power and individuality of our bodies".
Seems like a reasonable thing for naturists/nudists to celebrate.

Oh and its a good laugh too, perhaps if you were to take part you
could see all the smiling faces cheering us on as we cycle through the
centre of London. Out of the many thousands we cycled past last year,
only 1 created any negative fuss (a taxi driver in Oxford St).
