This Weekend In the World: Bloomsday, Banksy and Biking In the Buff

· 70 Cities Around the World: One time during our travels, we had the (mis)fortune of crossing paths with a World Naked Bike Ride. This Saturday, 70 cities in the northern hemisphere (the southern hemisphere does theirs in March) will host bicyclists in the buff to protest oil dependence. To join in or just station yourself along the route, check out the WNBR's Google map featuring all of the cities and links to their wiki pages for information.

· Dublin: June 16 may be the day on which James Joyce's Ulysses is set, but celebrations of Bloomsday and the author's life happen throughout this weekend. Expect the city to be crawling with literary walking tours and artfully-named drink specials at pubs. Download the official events list here or there's always Wikipedia to get the full breadth of the festival.

· Bristol, England: True to his reputation, super-secretive British street artist Banksy is keeping his new show, opening somewhere at sometime in Bristol this weekend, under wraps until the very last moment. Since this is his hometown, the show has finally been revealed to be at the Bristol Museum. Open daily form 10 to 5pm, the exhibition will run until August 31 and guess what? It's free!
