Cyclists’ naked ambition to take on the car sets new world record

HUNDREDS of cyclists, in various states of undress, rode through the West End on Saturday for the 2007 World Naked Bike Ride.
The cyclists – many with strategically-placed body paint, sticky tape or bum bags – were protesting against cars.
They were also promoting the environmental benefits of cycling. Earlier on Saturday, more than 200 naked cyclists rode through Brighton and Hove in East Sussex.
The World Naked Bike Ride is now in its fourth year with more than 60 cities taking part in 2007.
The London leg began at Hyde Park and finished in Wellington Arch, a route of around six miles.
Organiser Jesse Schust said: “There were a thousand riders – it was biggest in the world. Last year we had 800.”
