Naked bike ride arrest sparks chain reaction
NAKED cyclists converged on Vancouver's main police station at the weekend to protest at the arrest of a fellow cyclist who had taken his three-year-old son on a nude ride.
Naked Bike Ride spokesman Conrad Schmidt said it all began when six squad cars and a van showed up as the group of about 75 naked cyclists arrived at the city's English Bay.
Vancouver Police Constable Jana McGuinness said several bystanders had called the police, concerned about the child's well-being.
Police arrived and the man agreed that both he and his child would wear underwear during the ride.
But as he left to join the other riders, the man stripped his and his son's clothes off.
Officers arrested him on the spot, citing public nudity laws and prompting the mass protest.
