Hundreds of cyclists rode nude through Spain's main cities to
promote environmentally friendly transport and to call for
cycle lanes to be put in place.
Organisers say streets "have been hijacked by private cars",
making them "hostile, dangerous places".
Cyclists took to the streets in cities including Madrid,
Barcelona and Zaragoza during Saturday's protest.
One protester, Ignacio Fernandez, had "No Oil" written on his
back and said "Spanish cities have few lanes dedicated to
cyclists, and it's time that changed."
Naked cyclists also rode through cities in the Netherlands
demanding stricter climate laws and the use of cleaner
renewable sources of energy.
