Though, sad to say, officialdom intervened at the Newcastle (Oz) WNBR,

"March 12 at 5:15pm - World Naked Bike Ride in Newcastle broken up by Police - Sat 12 Mar 2011 - 8.9 km into a 12.6 km bike ride to protest for peace, sustainability and
cyclists rights, Police broke up the 7th annual World Naked Bike Ride in
Newcastle, NSW Australia. The group of about 15 bike riders, some clothed and and others naked and
decorated in body paint promoting their protest message, rode along the
Honeysuckle harborside cycleway, down Hunter St (the main street of the city),
and through the busy restaurant and cafe precinct of Darby St. The ride was
cheered and applauded by members of the public. Citing an alleged complaint from the public, the Police stopped the ride in Bar Beach. A couple participating in the ride were stopped and questioned by Police
who indicated further action may result. One gentleman was questioned and asked
to get dressed."
