davis_squareI just got this message from another list. If you can't make the Somerville Arts Council's Illuminations Tour on Saturday night, or you just prefer bicycles to tourist trolleys, this may be for you:
The 4th annual "Tour De Tacky", a bicycle tour of many of the best-illuminated houses in Somerville, will be held on Sunday 18th Dec at 6pm. It departs Davis Square -- just look for the big group of bikers near the T stop.
See this site for details: http://www.rushinrevolution.com/home.htm
The person who sent me the message added: "I've done this in the past. There is no fee and a wide cross section of cyclists appear - racers, curriers, choppers. There is much stopping to 'oo' and 'ah' the pretty lights and takes 2-3 hours. There are hills (this is Somerville - City of Seven Hills). You'll want lights (some folks even decorate their bikes in lights) and a degree of comfort on potentially icy roads. Oh, and it tends to be cold, so dress accordingly."
(I've never done this tour myself -- didn't even know about it until today.)
