Up to 200 naked cyclists expected on city’s streets

ORGANISERS of a World Naked Bike Ride event which is due to take place in Cork today are praying for favourable weather conditions with in the region of 200 people expected to participate if the sun shines.

The Naked Bike Ride is organised by cycling activists as part of the Cork Cycling Arts Festival. Riders are encouraged to go “as bare as you dare”. The event will go ahead even if the weather is poor.
