[ul][li]Some bikes carried banners reading, “Oil is not a bare necessity but a crude obsession”[]“Support the trade justice movement.”[]“There is too much pollution. It stinks in London, and we use too much fossil fuel.”“What we clearly want to show is that we feel naked against the traffic…Every day we have to put up with the traffic, the aggression of the drivers, their speed and bad manners.”[/ul]Most were men, naked except for shoes and helmets…[/li][/quote]
