LIKE a lot of your readers, I am interested in the one law for all attitude regarding naked bicycle riders.

As a pedestrian I cannot think of anything more unpleasant than riding a bicycle in the buff. Being male I do not believe we were designed to sit astride a machine without some sort of protection.

But what is it all for? Is it a protest against the wearing of clothes at any time or something to do with the benefits of cycling? What of health and safety? If you fell from a bicycle while riding a bike with no clothes you could cause yourself serious injury.

Who gave permission for such an event in the name of charity?

I can’t understand why you can persecute Stephen Gough and not the strangely odd people who take part in such an event.

The police must surely intervene.

Civil liberty – rubbish. Since the event I have seen two cyclists cycling through red traffic lights, narrowly avoiding cars, so they have not learned much from this demonstration, and most motorists agree with me that they would probably be blamed when there is an accident.

So let’s have some real justice and put an end to this nudist event and treat it for what it is, an exhibition of how to flout the law and get away with it by people who should know better.
