Volunteer For Somerville Event, Ride Your Bike, Get In Free!

got this in the email, great way to trade some bike hauling for free entry especially if you like food…which what cyclist doesn’t?!

Unleash your inner bike messenger!

The East Somerville Main Streets Foodie Crawl is an amazing event – over a dozen restaurants up and down Broadway are opening their doors in a massive “open house” tasting party.  The event is on September 18th from 6 to 8 PM and we are expecting a big crowd.

I am organizing the volunteers – since the restaurant route is about a half-mile, I know the easiest way to get around these short distances is by bike.  So I’m recruiting 4 “runners” who can help move things around.

If you are interested in taking a shift, they are from 4:30-6, 5:30-7, and 7 to 8:30.  You’ll need helmet, front and rear lights, and a messenger bag or pannier.  You’ll get a volunteer t-shirt and free admission to the rest of the event.

Please contact me directly at [email protected] if you are interested. And tell your friends – it’s a great event and a great deal – just $25 and it includes a dessert after-party.
