Peruvian Cyclists Take To Road In The Buff

Dozens of people wearing bathing suits, or nothing at all, rode bicycles through the streets of Lima to promote the use of non-motorised transportation as an alternative to the automobile as well as to defend the environment in Peru.

‘People’s attention must be attracted to make them aware about the importance of using sustainable means, like the bicycle,’ activist Octavio Zegarra said.

Zegarra is the president of Cicloaxion, the organiser of the Nudist Cycling event, held Saturday in Peru for the fifth consecutive year.

Peru needs to adopt the ‘good use’ of the automobile, a means of transportation that ‘brings dangers on the street, traffic congestion, health problems and pollution’, Zegarra told Radio Programas del Peru, or RPP.

Zegarra, a defender of the ‘bicycle culture’, also made note of the death of a cyclist Friday.

Lima, with more than eight million residents, has few bike paths, most of them following short and isolated routes.

Nude Cyclist Gets Gear Off In The Bay

A naturist who successfully appealed a conviction for riding his bike nude in Upper Hutt is set to take to the roads again – this time in Hawke’s Bay.

Nick Lowe, who is president of the Hawke’s Bay Naturist Club but hails from Wellington, was convicted and fined $200 for riding his bike nude in Upper Hutt on March 15 last year.

But he appealed his conviction and it was quashed by Justice Denis Clifford who noted Mr Lowe’s nudity had not met the test of offensive behaviour.

Mr Lowe will be back in the saddle on March 13 for World Naked Bike Ride Day for a ride from Bay View Pub to Tongoio picnic area, a distance of 14.5km.

For motorists and pedestrians not wishing to be startled or confronted by the flesh, there will be a trailer travelling in front towing a sign warning of “nude cyclists ahead”.

Mr Lowe said he was not thumbing his nose at the authorities and his nude cycling had been “tested in law”.

He had sharp words for anyone taking offence. “They need something bigger and better in their life to worry about. Anyone who says the human body is offensive has a problem.”

The ride starts at 2pm from the Bayview pub carpark. Anyone is welcome on bicycle, motorbike or car – but you must be naked.
