Join now the most extravagant Many-FIEST-Action of the year! For the Seventh Time in Finland! The last time we had so much fun being Cyclo Nudistas, we had even some acrobatic fellows. Therefore we will do our fantastic ride again on the warmest day of the year! Protesting against INDECENT exposure to cars and pollution! Celebrating CYCLING, NATURE, Human BODY, simplicity, and FREEDOM of being (naked). The concept is simple: we do, once a year, on the hottest, sunniest day of the summer, a bicycle tour around the city, to get the town back from big motorized vehicles, shout against pollution, cars, and hypocritical prudery. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SATURDAY 22nd of AUGUST 2020 - 14.00 (Departure at 15:00) Varsapuistikko (close to Railway Station and Kaisaniemenpuisto) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHY? - To manifest AGAINST POLLUTION & car culture; - PROMOTING CYCLING, Nature & Simplicity; But the unique reasons why YOU do it may be infinite: you love bicycles, you love your city, you want noiseless means of transport, you don't want big and fast vehicles in the city, you don't agree with the speculations of the oil industry, you wish to sensibilize drivers to mind the bikes. ...and because you may be an exhibitionist! --PRACTICAL INFO-- MEETING POINT Varsapuistikko - next to Kaisaniemen Puisto - Kaisaniemi park, close to the main train station.
