The Sydney Body Art Ride attracted 200 skin-flashing cyclists yesterday to raise money for the Children's Cancer Institute.

Organiser Jake Lloyd Jones said 90 per cent of riders painted up for the ride from Randwick racecourse to South Maroubra Beach.

The event was Sydney's contribution to World Naked Bike Ride, whose undress code is "as bare as you dare".

Entrants abided by a local rule by wearing briefs.

Dr Arthur Chesterfield-Evans of the Democrats sported a skintight gold lame jumpsuit, while Media Watch host Liz Jackson chose paint and clothes.

The Sydney University Housing Co-op made up the largest team in the ride.
