233 - Let's Go Bananas! 🍌
We’re going bananas and publishing an early edition of The Localist this week because today is… National Banana Day 📆 🍌!
London Cycle Link’s “Banana Kingdom” Fun Ride 🍌
Raid your wardrobe for whatever yellow clothing you’ve got, jump on your (banana seat) bike and head on down to the Victoria Street entrance of Gibbons Park for 5pm tonight to take part in a group ride through the Thames Valley Parkway’s infamous Banana Kingdom! ➡️ More details here. 🚲

Polar Pals Run Club 🍌
Keep your costume on after the ride and head to Central Secondary where this group dedicated to fun runs (in costume) and regular cold plunges will be heading out at 7pm! 🧊🏃
-
Banana Bar Crawl 🍌
Looking for something a little less, uh, athletic: hang around for next year’s Banana Bar Crawl. Apparently, the organization’s first London event was quite the hit this year!🍻

The “Bananthropist”🍌
We can’t talk about this city and bananas without a salute to Tyler Lockhart—who generously (and anonymously) gave out over 10,000 bananas in early 2023 because he simply "wanted to help those that needed the food right now. Not in a month, or two weeks"! 🫡
