Naked cyclist caught by speed camera in Germany
A naked cyclist in Germany caught on camera riding over the speed limit is likely to escape a fine because police cannot identify him.
The man, wearing only shoes, was snapped heading i8nto the centre of Kiel on the evening of Saturday 21 July, reports dw.com.
According to police, he was pedalling at 47 kilometres an hour in a 30 kilometres an hour zone.
The man’s ride in the buff came as Germany – in common with the rest of western Europe – faced record-breaking temperatures due to the heatwave.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
He is a joy to watch!
Will help with insurance.

Clearly this story is nonsense, as no tory is ever hypocritical ever, ever, ever; unless there's a y in the day.
York though - "Our historic gates and mediaeval town centre are too narrow for cycling infra!" When last there a couple years back I was surprised...
There used to be another poster who hated TTs and would pompously tell people they were risking prejudicing trials if they so much as hinted that...
