That appeared to have remained the case with Saturday's ride. However, the same wasn't true for a group of pro-nudity protesters last month when a demonstration in the Castro District was called to mark the second anniversary of the city law, which bans public nudity except at events whose sponsors obtain permits.

Officers said the trio had to be taken into custody instead of being cited because they did not have identification. The newspaper said those arrested were George Davis, a veteran nudity protester, and Gypsy Taub and her husband Jimmy Smith, who held a nude wedding on the steps of City Hall in 2013.
