A Polish man raced his bicycle past a speed camera wearing nothing but sneakers on his feet and underwear...on his head, as a protest. They clocked him going 33 MPH in a 25 MPH zone. There are no registration plates on bikes, so the photo cops had their work cut out for them.
Mariusz Sztuba claims he wasn't completely naked; that he was wearing a thong, but they still piled on a lewd conduct charge on top of the speeding. The total was 1000 zloty or $315. Sztuba says the presence of the ticketing camera speed trap is giving his village a bad reputation.
--And people riding around starkers doesn't?
He did his minimalist pedaling in October in Bialy Bor and Judge Przykucki found him guilty.
I would have increased the fine, were I the judge, for his wearing a thong, and I think it only fair that a cyclist disclose, before selling his bike, if it has ever had a naked rider, and I'm thinking it is cold in northern Poland in October.
