  1. Were any of those cyclists actually nude?
    Didn't look like it from the vision I saw tonight 6:10pm Sunday 15th on
    Channel 7 .

    LOL! :p Just saw them on the ABC news here in Melbourne. Yes, they were nude during the earlier part of the ride, hence 'bits' being pixelled so not to offend the sensibilities of Auntys viewers. Protest was about a proposed road tunnel. Suppose if cyclists are gonna Nude Up, do it in the tropics!

    This is planned next month:

    They didn't pixelate on the late news.

    Naked protesters cycle into strife

    A PACK of nude cyclists rode through Brisbane's city centre yesterday
    to protest the Brisbane City Council's proposed north-south bypass
    tunnel.

    But the group's ride was cut short when police arrested four people
    for wilful exposure.

    A spokesman for the protest group Communities Against the Tunnel said
    it was only the beginning of a long campaign to get ratepayers
    debating the tunnel's benefits.

    "These tunnel plans are actually going to increase the amount of
    traffic in the city in the long term," a protester who gave his name
    only as Alex said. "We just think the tunnel is a really silly idea
    and we would like to encourage the residents of Brisbane to think what
    they could do with $7 billion."

    He said Brisbane should follow Paris and London's lead in trying to
    eliminate cars in the city centre.

    Brisbane City Council Transport and Major Projects chairman Graham
    Quirk said he did not believe the protesters had been exposed to the
    tunnel's full benefits.

    "Putting traffic underground in the council's view will produce a much
    better outcome in local communities than having to widen streets on
    the surface and create all the trauma of resumptions along long strips
    of roadway," Cr Quirk said.

    He said he would encourage the protesters to gain a little more
    knowledge about the side benefits the tunnel would bring.

    Alex said the protest had been received well by passersby and he felt
    it had been a "joyous campaign".

    "This is not just an in our backyard protest, this campaign is just
    the beginning," he said.

    "It was a success in the sense that it raises awareness about the
    issue, even if we have just created some kind of debate about it.

    "I mean the interaction we have had today as we have been riding along
    has been wonderful."

    Police would disagree. They gave three men and a woman notices to
    appear for wilful exposure.

    A police spokeswoman said two were stopped near the Botanic Gardens
    while another two were apprehended in the city, between Albert St and
    King George Square.

    They will appear in the Brisbane Magistrate's Court on June 21

    I am wondering if the police looked at the right parts to identify these
    people if they appear in court in the nude.

    The worst part is getting the ink off after making the prints.
