Here was the setting. Trafalgar Square. Lots of people there, like there are everyday. Lovely sunny day. Tourists. Families with kids. Passer-by's just enjoying the fountain.
Many of them had no idea what was about to happen...
All of a sudden, a few police cars arrive and block a few roads. Over a thousand naked people on bicycles whoosh past! A good 15 mins of nakedness.
That day, a few innocent people lost their innocense after what they saw.
The whole thing was a passive protest about the world's dependence on natural resources like oil. It's a worldwide event that tours different countries.
The cyclists were loving it! Most were creative, with some form of body paint. Some people put a twist to it by doing it on skates, a unicycle, two ppl on one cycle or dancing on the cycle. Some just keeping it simple and running naked. Bits bobbing up and down.
Saw this one dude who was very fat. I couldn't even see the seat! It was halfway up his bum cheeks!
Also entertaining were the bible bashers shouting abuse at them.
"You are animals! Nothing but beasts!"
"You will end up in hell fire!"
Yeah okay then. Anyway, this post is nothing without photos, so here are my faves (not my photos, taken from Flikr.com) Click on them for bigger images...
