Two men who were stopped for cycling in the nude in New Zealand were let off by police on the condition they wear bicycle helmets.

The officer who stopped the pair said “they were wanting to experience total freedom.”

But she said when she told them they might “experience total confinement” if they didn’t go home and get helmets, the men complied.

The officer said she thought the pair were more shocked than her and she explained why she let them go free with a warning.

“It was dark and there was no-one else around. They were jovial young men who had not intended to cause offense.”

It’s not clear if the men actually went home to get helmets but the officer said she didn’t see them again during her shift.
