The excitement of the disrobing moment on the naked bike ride threw an, erm, spanner into one man's works.
A cyclist has been removed from a naked bike ride after becoming excited and aroused when those taking part de-robed to begin the event nude.
The incident occurred yesterday, Saturday, in Kent in southern England at the latest leg of the World Naked Bike Ride.
After the man became aroused, other cyclists did not react well and event officials and the local police moved in to escort him away.
“Everyone was taking their clothes off to get ready for the ride,” said one witness.
“I heard gasps and I turned around; it was a horrible sight.
"It's fair to say he was overexcited and got aroused. It looked like he was enjoying the event a bit too much.

"One of the organisers went over to him and told him to put his trousers on while speaking on a walkie-talkie to police.

"The man looked sheepish when he was spoken to by the police."
The events are held around the world, ostensibly to spread a safety message in highlighting how vulnerable cyclists are on the roads.
The organisers of yesterday’s cycle in Kent had warned people before the event that while participants would be nude, inappropriate behavior would not be tolerated.
"The police have confirmed they will act on any inappropriate behaviour and we, the organisers, will support that,” they said in a statement pre event.
"If you are coming just to be a pain in the neck and to be the one to end this World Naked Bike Ride we'd rather you stayed at home."
After the event and the removal of the aroused man, the organisers issued another statement, with read: "We do not accept this behaviour and he was dealt with and removed before the ride started."
