3rd. naked cyclists demo in Zaragoza (Spain) Thursday 12th Jun 2003

[Parix]

THIRD NAKED CYCLIST DEMONSTRATION IN ZARAGOZA:

PUBLIC AND UNIVERSAL CALL

This is the third time this demonstration takes place. Due to the success of the past two gatherings
(2001 and 2002) this year we want to go further: we have decided to spread our call worldwide. We
invite everyone to join in (twenty people is enough to do it!).

We´ll cycle with no clothes on trhough the centre of Zaragoza as the last two times. This the first
time we announce it beforehand. It´s a defiance to the stablished power and a bet for civil
desobedience.

Stop the dependence on oil!. Down with the polution! Down with textile industry!.

Naked in front of traffic against the oil and car dictatorship and its wars. Reclaim the streets for
the people.

This event will take place on Thursday the 12th of June, and we suggest you to do it in your own
city on the same date or as near as possible. It´s fun and generates social debate.

It´s a call of the "Coordinadora de Colectivos Ciclonudistas de Aragón (C.C.C.)", that is part of

Mostly it generates what it deserves to generate: gawking, pointing, and laughter.

Well, we are the ones that laugh the more for sure. Anyway, I think it generates what it looks for
to generate, that is, mediatic impact for an open public discussion, about urban cyclism, we're on
every local media, otherwise it's very hard to achieve.

And it, at least here, generates more sympathy, encourage and good karma than what I deduce from
you words.

Uh, I would not bet any money on it, if I were you. Could be wrong, but I strongly doubt it.

I can see two sides to this issue. On the one hand, there's GRL, who's saying that nudism is
laughable and idiotic. In my experience, an attitude far more prevalent in the States than it is in
Europe. On the other side, there's parix, who is also claiming that it's an incredibly unusual
thing, and is trying to say that riding bikes naked is somehow a good way of showing people that
it's fun to ride a bike.. I don't really get that.
