'Aroused' rider removed from World Naked Bike Ride, as event heads for Cambridge
Online Edition
CYCLISTS looking to take part in Cambridge's first naked bike ride will hope for better luck than one rider in Kent on Saturday, who was removed by police after becoming "over-excited", cambridge-news.co.uk reported on Sunday.
On June 20 the city hosts the World Naked Bike Ride for the first time, which will see nude riders complete a seven-mile circular route from Parker's Piece to Regent Street.
Cambridgeshire police are aware of the event and have confirmed that taking part is not illegal.
But that didn't stop the 'aroused' male rider being escorted away from the event in Canterbury by police officers, the report said.
One witness reportedly said: ''Everyone was taking their clothes off to get ready for the ride. I heard gasps and I turned around - it was a horrible sight.
"It's fair to say he was overexcited and got aroused. It looked like he was enjoying the event a bit too much.
"One of the organisers went over to him and told him to put his trousers on while speaking on a walkie-talkie to police.
"The man looked sheepish when he was spoken to by the police."
In a response to complaints posted on Facebook, ride organiser Barry Freeman said: "We do not accept this behaviour and he was dealt with and removed before the ride started."
The naked rides, which take place in around the world, are organised to highlight the dangers cyclists face from cars.
Protesters can cycle "as bare are you dare" but the rules state they must be riding bikes and there should be no skaters, or runners and riders cannot wear face masks, according to the report.
Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult.
A Cambridgeshire police spokesman previously told the News: "So long as people don't act in an inappropriate or offensive way, they will not be committing an offence.
"We have been notified of the event and it is going through the usual planning processes."
