Ciclonudista! Oh, The Bitterness!
Generally, I found trying to cycle in Madrid to be a total pain in the hoop. There were only a couple of roads out of the city that were not motorways and Spanish drivers have absolutely no respect or consideration for cyclists.
And now I missed this:

MADRID, June 10 - Hundreds of nude cyclists sped around Spain on Saturday to protest against car-clogged streets.
Spain's third annual Ciclonudista or Nudecycle, in Madrid, Barcelona and Pamplona was part of worldwide naked bike riding events in Europe, North America and South America.
"We feel naked when up against traffic, " explained cyclist Ana Linaza, wearing a cycling helmet and shoes.

Haha, yes indeed, ciclying in Madrid is for the brave only. One of the waiters of the Cock was there on his own bike (though I couldn´t spot him in the photos I´ve seen), which he uses to commute every night. But he only lives 10 minutes away.
