World Naked Bike Ride 2011

I happened to be in Melbourne on the day of the ride. I was sitting in a cafe in Brunswick Street when about 150 naked bike riders went past. It was quite a sight to see.
The mission statement of the Naked Bike Ride is:

We face automobile traffic with our naked bodies as the best way of defending our dignity and exposing the unique dangers faced by cyclists and pedestrians plus all the negative effects of oil, cars, war, consumerism and non-renewable energy.

Check out this link for a lot of info, pictures and videos.

I think we might need to make this a team ride next year to do our bit to help promote bike safety!
