Laying bare the dangers facing cyclists

A GROUP of bikers braved the chill to enjoy a naked cycle in the Meadows on Saturday.

Using tassels, socks and leaves to preserve their dignity, the bare-bummed bikers pedalled through the park, leaving a trail of bemused dog walkers behind them.

Saturday's ride, which was part of a worldwide event was designed to raise awareness of environmental issues, as well as highlighting the vulnerability of cyclists on the roads.
