On Friday 8 and Saturday 9 June, 2007,
over 1,000 cyclists rode naked through the streets various British towns,
including our own! Now in its fourth year, the
World Naked Bike Ride takes
place in over 50 locations around the world, and is believed to be the largest
nude protest event in history. The ride is an environmental demonstration
against oil dependency and is also a celebration of cycling and the human body.
Riding under the slogan real rights for bikes, participants cycle
naked to highlight their vulnerability on city streets and draw attention to
the destructive effects of car culture. The campaign is part of a growing international awareness of the destructive effects of climate change and unsustainable oil dependency. For many people, these issues are prompting a choice of greener lifestyles and reconsideration of how our actions impact the planet. Thrilled at the prospect of nudists on our streets, as soon as we learned of this event, we hurried down to Waitrose with our camera to catch the cyclists as they passed. We were not disappointed... |
