The World Naked Bike Ride returns to London this weekend
The World Naked Bike Ride is an event that has been happening since 2004. It's purpose is five-fold: protest against the global dependency on oil, curb car culture, obtain real rights for cyclists, demonstrate the vulnerability of cyclists on city streets and celebrate body freedom. You can get an idea of the kind of sights to expect here.
Here's all the key info you need if you want to take part in (or firmly avoid) the World Naked Bike Ride 2025.

What's the weather looking like?
Cycling is a pretty weather dependent activity at the best of times, but when you're cycling in nothing but nipple tassels, you're definitely going to be hoping for optimal weather conditions. You can breathe easy, because generally the forecast is pretty good.
There will be sunny and rainy intervals, but most of the day will be grey-ish and moderately windy. The temperature will range from lows of 18 to highs of 23, so it should be a pretty pleasant day overall.

Spending a day foraging for wild treats is enjoyable for all ages and totally free. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up But you must avoid private land, and always respect the countryside. Here's what to look for . . . BERRY NICE: It is the start of blackberry season — they can be used to make delicious jams and crumbles, or eaten on their own with cream and a dusting of sugar. You will find brambles along hedgerows, on the side of country roads and even in wasteland. Just watch out for the prickly branches and pick berries that are dark purple for the best taste. Elderberries are also ready for picking now. Find Elder trees in woodland or hedgerows with the berries hanging in little clusters. The dark purple berries can be used to make cordials or jams. NOT SO WEEDY: Many plants that are considered weeds found in gardens and woodland areas can actually be eaten. The Woodland Trust says that greater plantain can be eaten at this time of year. Look for its small oval leaves with veins running down it. Blanch, then sautee with butter for the best taste. Young dandelion leaves can be picked, washed and added to salads. Nettle leaves are also packed with vitamins and minerals. Use gloves to avoid being stung and pick the tips for the best flavour. You can wash and use with hot water for a health-boosting tea or try rustling up a delicious soup. I get $60 meals for FREE by foraging - I scored oysters and clams during my last trip FEELING FRUITY: Crab apples trees are found across Britain with apples ready for picking from now until autumn. The fruit turns red or orange when ripe. The Woodland Trust recommends using the apples for a glowing jelly that is delicious on bread or to accompany meat.

Major bank offers Brits £200 boost but there is just one catch
The Co-op Bank is offering the first three months free on its Everyday Extra packaged account - a current account that comes with extra perk but not for everyone Customers of the major banks can save £200 with a new offer from Co-op Bank. The bank is offering the first three months free on its Everyday Extra packaged account - a current account that comes with additional benefits. This account usually carries a £18 per month charge but includes various extras such as travel insurance and phone insurance. Co-op suggests that customers could save around £200 a year compared to purchasing these types of insurance separately. And if you open a joint account, both individuals can access the benefits. The new offer introduced by Co-op allows new customers to utilise the account, and receive the benefits, free of charge for the first three months. But once the period is up - they will need to start paying the £18 charge, reports Birmingham Live. John Ward, Chief Commercial Officer, said: "This is a great choice of bank account for couples or for anyone travelling several times a year. "So whether you're planning a romantic city break in Paris or a week by the pool in Spain, with Everyday Extra you can be sure that you're covered." "With the price of everyday insurance climbing, we're giving our customers the first three months of perks on us to help make the summer holidays that little bit more affordable."

The World Naked Bike Ride returns to Montreal this weekend
Less gas, more ass is one of the slogan's for Montreal's World Naked Bike Ride. Naked cyclists are taking over the streets this weekend for a protest against oil consumption that also highlights body freedom and cyclists rights. Back in town for its 21st edition, this unique cycling event combines activism, awareness, and body positivity, bringing together people from all walks of life for an unforgettable cycling experience. By cycling naked, participants show their commitment to reducing fossil fuel consumption, highlighting the vulnerability of cyclists on roads, encouraging motorists to be more aware of alternative modes of transportation, and celebrating body diversity and self-acceptance. Organizers caution cyclists to check their tire pressure, brakes, and bike chains to make sure everything is working properly—and to bring sunscreen, water, a backpack or bicycle bag for clothes and personal belongings, and a small towel to sit in the park (or on the saddle). For the night ride, front and back lights are suggested. The ride organizers also encourage participants to bring banners, music, and decorate their bikes. Horns, bells and good moods are welcome! Bonus: body painting will be also available. When is the World Naked Bike Ride happening in Montreal? Montreal's World Naked Bike Ride is happening on Saturday, July 12, 2025. The day ride departs from Dorchester Square at 1 p.m. and the night ride departs from Dorchester Square at 8 p.m. Do I need to sign up? No need to sign up. Participants can arrive at Dorchester Square up to two hours before the ride and hang out nude in the park. Where does the Montreal Naked Bike Ride start?
