  • The nude cyclist fighting his convictions (8:30)

The law deems the naked human body not fit for public consumption, which unfortunately is a problem for Nick Lowe - because there's nothing he loves more than riding his bike in the country in the nude.

Nick now has a $200 conviction to his name for offensive behaviour, but he believes what he's done is not a crime, so he's taking his case at no small cost to the High Court for appeal.

Close Up spoke to Nick live from Wellington.
