Otherside Cafe Ride

Written by Boston Biker on Jul 11

This Sunday morning, Otherside Cafe is sponsoring a group ride followed by brunch, as a fundraiser for Livable Streets Alliance. The ultimate goal is to raise money for bike lanes on Mass. Ave. There will be plenty of veggie/vegan food. Here are the details:

Riders meet at the cafe at 8:30 AM on Sunday July 13th for a one-hour bike ride through Boston, followed by a group breakfast at the cafe.

The ride is $20 per person and includes breakfast, a free ride t-shirt, and one PBR. The food is vegetarian and vegan friendly, as always! Return riders get $5 off when they wear their ride shirt.

ALL proceeds to benefit Livable Streets and the creation of bike lanes on Mass Ave.

Jeff Rosenblum from Livable Streets Alliance will be on hand some Sundays to update us on recent bike advocacy developments in Boston.

Ride is limited to 25, reserve a spot ahead of time at the cafe.

Sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon and The OTHERSIDE Cafe!

For questions, call us at 617-53-OTHER or email [email protected].
