Bicycle Tour of Historic Somerville - This Sunday

Join the Somerville Bicycle Committee and the Somerville Historic Preservation Commission for a bike tour featuring Somerville's many historic houses of worship.

We'll meet at Somerville City Hall, 93 Highland Avenue, at 2 pm this Sunday, May 31. We'll take about three hours to ride about nine miles, stopping along the way to see various churches and synagogues throughout the city. I'll be co-leading the ride.

The ride will be fully escorted by the Somerville Police bicycle patrol. We'll end at the Somerville Museum, where participants can enjoy refreshments and view the Somerville Preservation Awards exhibit.

Before the ride, from 1 to 2 pm, police officers will be available to register bicycles and hand out literature on bicycle safety and security. Registering your bike helps police return it to you if they recover it after a theft.

For more information, visit http://SomervilleBikes.org , e-mail rnewman@thecia.net , or call 617-628-8895.

A $3 donation is requested to support the activities of the Historic Preservation Commission.

I'm interested in trying to rent a tandem for tomorrow's ride. Any local stores that do that?

I didn't end up following up on this due to other circumstances. If you do hear of any likely places in the future I would be interested though.
