Some interesting cycling news from New Zealand...
Two naked Kiwi men have been issued with a warning for riding without protective head gear around a New Zealand seaside town.
Senior Constable Cathy Duder was patrolling Whangamata, a beach resort in the North Island, on a quiet Monday night when she came across the two nude men aged in their early 20s.
"They were more shocked than I was, trying to cover up their bits and pieces with their hands," she said. Asked to explain, the pair said "they wanted to experience total freedom".
"And I said to them: `The way you're heading, you're going to experience total confinement'."
The officer said the "very fit" men "didn't seem drunk at all. That's what worried me".
Constable Duder issued a warning for failing to wear helmets and sent them home.
"I suggested that they stay on their bicycles and not get off because they were managing to discreetly hide their bits and pieces," she said.
Nudity forgiven but cyclists feel heat over helmets
