Porn king Steve Crow has buckled under public pressure to can his latest Boobs on Bikes parade through central Auckland.
The parade, featuring topless women riding on motorcycles, was scheduled for the same day as the Rugby World Cup game between France and the All Blacks, Saturday September 24.
Mr Crow says there has been a negative wave of opinion against the parade.
He says online polls and talkback radio have indicated that people want the Rugby World Cup to support a positive family environment.
Mr Crow says the parade had council approval before it was cancelled.
