AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A planned nudist bicycle tour in
the Netherland's so called bible-belt has upset local
churchmen who are holding their own youth charity bike
ride the same day.

They have tried in vain to get local authorities to
ban the nudists to stop them clashing with the youth
chapter of the Reformed Church when they both take to
the road in the eastern town of Apeldoorn on June 12.

The nudist tour is part of the World Naked Bike Ride
which also takes place in London, Chicago, Los
Angeles, Montreal, Toronto and Pforzheim in Germany.

The organizer of the church bike tour told the ANP
news agency Thursday he had tried to coordinate the
routes with the nudist tour to avoid any embarrassing
meeting but had obtained no reply.

He is now asking the 300 or so cyclists on his youth
tour to call the police if they see any nudists.

"Nudity in public is provocative and illegal," he said.

What a party pooper.:( Why can't people mind their own business?:rolleyes:

Woohoo! I'm really thinking of taking part in the one here. The police have already been notified and they're going to have 15 or 20 police on bikes to oversee it (emphasis on see, I'm sure).

And I thought bicycle seats were uncomfortable with clothes on!
