Overhead from the media

“The Auckland World Naked Bike Ride’s purpose was to draw attention to oil dependency and the negative social and environmental impacts of a car dominated culture. Last year 250 Aucklanders were killed by vehicle emissions, and 94 people died in car accidents on the roads of Auckland alone”

- Simon Oosterman, Auckland 13 Feb 2005 WNBR organizer, union worker and climate justice campaigner in central Auckland, Aotearoa/New Zealand

"Stop indecent exposure to vehicle emissions"

- Message on banner held by Simon Oosterman and three supporters—two men and a woman—outside the courthouse naked on 17 Feb 2005.
