It doesn't particulary bother me but when did the law on public decency lapse? or is it ok when it's for "fun"/"charity"

Amazing what people can "get away with" these days Bernard - do you think we`re getting old ?
According to Wikipedia...............
"Legality of public nudity.The policing of the ride varies according to local laws, local police policy, and local cultural expectations. At some events, police support and facilitate the event. Police have provided traffic control at road junctions for the London (until 2009), Brighton and Portland, Oregon rides. At other events police take a more neutral stance, simply monitoring proceedings. In other cases, such as in Ottawa, police have attempted to stop the ride or have attempted to encourage riders to wear some level of clothing.
Arrests and charges during WNBR events are rare. Two male riders were arrested during the 2005 WNBR in North Conway, New Hampshire, and charged with "indecent exposure and lewdness". The two riders agreed to having the charges reduced to "disorderly conduct" and paid a $300 fine, a major portion of which was paid for by the WNBR Legal Defense Fund. Six male riders were charged with public indecency during the 2005 WNBR Chicago ride and later prosecuted with sentences ranging from fines and non-expungeable conviction to three months of court supervision."
The object apparently is to
"deliver a vision of a cleaner, safer, body-positive world."
Mmmmm ! Sounds a bit like tree hugging and self promotion to me folks.

I do recall in the "swinging sixties" that If I had ran down the road naked I would have been arrested for gross indecency and probably languished at Her Majesties pleasure.
If my sister did the same she would merely have been guilty of a public order offence.
As for naked tree hugging - first check there are no wasps nests

But surely you'd have to do it another 143 times for the charge to be applicable!

Don't shout too loud or the CaNi followers will hear and suggest the lenses are made from the bottoms of the empties
