Police in the northern German city of Kiel said on Saturday that they were struck by one of their strangest traffic violations yet: a naked man, cycling at an impressive 47 km per hour (29 miles per hour) in a 30 zone.

Wearing only shoes, the man was caught by a speed camera at about 11.30 pm local time, heading in the direction of downtown Kiel on the evening of July 21, a Saturday.

The incident came as Germany is dealing with an unprecedented heatwave.

Luckily for him, as local media Kieler Nachtrichten noted, the man is not going to have to pay his speeding ticket—as his identity remains unknown.
