And other stories from the stranger side of life
A naked cyclist who was arrested during a charity ride has called for more understanding of naturism. Stuart Gilmour, also known as the Naked Cyclist, told Sky News he was detained in Colwyn Bay, North Wales, on Sunday. The naturist said the police were “absolutely lovely”. Explaining his hobby, he said he felt more comfortable without any clothes on and complained that many people did not understand that naturism is a “non-sexual lifestyle”. Under the Sexual Offences Act 2003, public nudity is permissible if not done to intentionally cause harassment, alarm or distress.
