Rejected petition Ban the “Naked bike ride”. There are laws to protect children against being exposed to naked people.
Recently there was a naked bike ride though Cardiff and the feedback has been terrible. Many people complaining their their little girl or boy was exposed to male and female genitalia. There are laws that should be enforced to prevent this and the police should uphold the law rather than facilitate something that’s so inappropriate.
More details
The Cardiff World Naked Bike Ride is not an official charity fundraiser. It is organized primarily as a protest, campaign, and celebration.
Core Aims of the Event.
Protest car culture: Highlight the dangers and vulnerability of cyclists on the road.
Environmental awareness:
Promote sustainable transport and renewable energy while protesting oil dependency.
Body positivity: Celebrate body acceptance and human individuality.
This can be done without getting naked and parading yourself in front of children.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.
Petitions to the Senedd must call for a specific action that falls within the powers of the Senedd or Welsh Government. This petition calls on the police to uphold existing laws. This is therefore a policing issue and is not within the responsibilities of the Welsh Government.
You may wish to address your concerns to South Wales Police. Also, if the event requires a road(s) closure, you may wish to raise the issue with Cardiff Council.
Further information about the powers and responsibilities of the Senedd can be found here: https://senedd.wales/how-we-work/our-role/powers/
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards
