Environmentalists participate in World Naked Bike Ride in Cape Town via SABCNewsOnline

World Naked Bike Riders say they want to raise awareness on the amount of air pollution South Africans generate by using fossil fuels.

Capetonians have responded with mixed reactions to a group of environmentalists cycling naked in public on Saturday morning. The naked bikers participated in the 10th annual World Naked Bike Ride in the Mother City to raise awareness on environmental pollution due to the use of fossil fuels. The event coincides with the Cape Town Cycle Tour which has seen thousands of cyclists converge on the city this weekend.“It’s terrible to see how people run naked in the road from town up until the Atlantic Sea Board, especially for Capetonians where we have small kids you know. I think it’s lusty. It’s a taboo. It’s quite nasty to see people who are out of shape and so naked, but it’s also great sort of expression for freedom.

Environmentalists, who took part in Saturday morning’s 10th annual World Naked Bike Ride in Cape Town, say they are doing it for future generations. The naked cyclists took to the streets of the CBD and Sea Point Promenade on their eco-friendly bicycles. They say they want to raise awareness on the amount of air pollution South Africans generate by using fossil fuels.Environmentalist, Juanita Pretorius, says, “It’s very important because you see, tomorrow and the day after, then you are not here anymore and the children have to see that you are the parent that stands up for their rights and for their world and to have them a safer world because you are here for the children of tomorrow.
