The Bristol World Naked Bike Ride is a protest against oil dependency and is also a promotion of Car Free Sundays in the city centre. It is also (not a little) symbolic of the vulnerability of cyclists and pedestrians in traffic, and a perty in the streets!

And it did, with a turn out of about 200.
