(CBS/AP) KEMAH, Texas - Riding a unicycle is one way to get noticed.

Riding a unicycle in Kemah, Texas probably increases your chances.

But riding a unicycle naked in Kemah, Texas - that will get you noticed, and arrested, as Joseph Farley discovered.

Police say the 45-year-old Farley was unicycling nude on a bridge about 20 miles southeast of Houston, distracting drivers and creating a hazard. Furthermore, the police chief says Farley was not intoxicated or impaired when police noticed him Wednesday, although he had been falling off the unicycle and into traffic.

What was the point?

Farley told officers that he liked the feeling of riding without his clothes, which were found at the base of the bridge.

He's charged with misdemeanor indecent exposure, with bond set at $1,500.

Let's see how slowly the wheels of justice turn....um, make that wheel.
