Nothing ruins a peaceful, late summer ride down a gravel road on a grown-up tricycle in the nude like the cops showing up.

A Clackamas County sheriff's deputy was caught in the act of locating someone participating in a one-person naked ride last month, according to Clackamas County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Sgt. Brian Jensen.

Jensen tweeted a picture of the encounter Friday afternoon.

"Yep, it was real," he told The Oregonian/OregonLive over email, after being asked if the photo was authentic. "It was a reported naked bike rider in the county taken about a month ago. Our Deputy obviously located the gentleman and someone grabbed a photo."

No word yet on how the situation was resolved.
