LONDON (AP) - Hundreds of naked cyclists rode past Big Ben and the U.S. Embassy in London on Saturday to protest the West's dependence on gas-guzzling cars - and to push for more use of bicycles.

The organizers of World Naked Bike Ride 2005 said protests were expected in a number of countries, including Australia, Canada, the United States, Ireland, Italy, Latvia and Israel.

In London, crowds watched about 100 cyclists leave Hyde Park Corner on a journey that took them past some of the capital's most famous landmarks.

Most of the riders stripped naked for the six-mile ride past Piccadilly Circus, Big Ben, Covent Garden, Oxford Street and the U.S. Embassy.

I Like naked people

plus while I'm sitting here chewing on the air in toronto... I agree with them

19 smog days so far this year... how depressing

I bet they were all 60's throw backs... meaning they'll be all old-n-ugly :blink:

A few of them were hot young crusties :biglaugh:

so you were on your bike this weekend? :yowsa:

I saw a pic on Drudge I do believe and it wasn't pretty. :blink:

I was indeed :)

and she was thankful for the attention :yowsa:

I can imagine... there's only one thing worse than naked old people and that's naked old British people :barfon:

Fuck off

I've give up my 17 MPG SUV when a similar size and comfort vehicle is made to run on whatever else you have

In fact if I had my way prisoners would be sent to fight wars for oil
If you had so little regard as to be incarcerated for heinous crimes you can die for my gas damn it
I'll solve 2 problems at once (just like feeding the homeless to the hungry)

Yes I am an ugly American


VICK FOR WORLD RULER!!!!!

There is absolutely no fucking way you can allegedly put a body over the back of a rear wheel on a bike .. I vote for Vick and his gas guzzler :salute:

There is nothing wrong with being a 60s throw-back ... as long as you are not naked or trying to wear the shit you wore in the 60s.

Why, now, that's just a fucking brilliant idea.

Just as long as you sign up to join the Officer corps.

They can take the keys to my Escalade from my cold dead hands!!!

Funnily enough , I was in London in the early nineties idling in my Porsche and a hippy came up and said I should turn the car off as it was polluting the air.

I explained to him that there had just been an article published which claimed the cat converter actually improved the air quality.

He poo pooed this article and continued to argue his case.After a few seconds of listening to his further arguments and his continued protestations I advised him clearly and concisely that if he did not remove himself immediately from my presence , his concern over future air quality and global warming would be irrelevant as he would be unlikely to have to endure it. :)
