Bicycling in London? Did anyone see Steve?

As many of you know, over the last few years, the Kaufmans have taken up bicycle riding as part of their vacation adventures. Karen wondered why Regent Street appeared to be closed and then suddenly bike riders appeared to come from nowhere. 

Recently returned from a week of hard work at the Golden Door, it begs the question, where was Mr Steve? Can you pick him out of the crowd?

The real deal: 
The London naked bike ride is a chance for all London cyclists to get out on their bikes and prove to the world that the bike is a great alternative mode of transport for travelling in the city. Partially a demonstration against oil dependency and the need to protect the environment and also a celebration of the freedom of cycling and the human body, the London event is part of the World Naked Bike Ride, which sees thousands of naked cyclists riding all over the world.

This is year number two for the UK. The 2014 London naked bike ride will go down in history as the largest ever naked protest in Britain if the total number of naked cyclists exceeds the estimated 1,000 participants. Hey, Ripley's  is just around the corner from Regent St, so why not?!
