and TOUR DE FRANCE TV VIEWING & BREAKFASTS*

*Davis Square, Somerville, MA --  Locals ride to Redbones each year for 
the annual Bike Party and Benefit which signals the unofficial start to 
the cycling season. * For 10 years, Redbones and several generous 
sponsors have supported two bicycle advocacy groups: New England 
Mountain Bicycle Association (www.NEMBA.org) and the Massachusetts 
Bicycle Coalition (www.MassBike.org) with a street party and raffle 
outside the restaurant at 55 Chester Street, Davis Square, Somerville.  
 From a modest beginning of around 50 people gathered inside the 
restaurant to a party attracting hundreds, close to $20,000. has been 
raised for NEMBA and MassBike in the last four years alone.

*Traditionally held the first day of National Bike to Work Week, this 
year's party is on Monday, May 15 from 5:00 - 10:00 pm;  tickets are 
$15.00* and include Redbones fare and fixin's, a soft drink or beer from 
Harpoon, 2 raffle tickets, live music and, of course, Redbones popular 
free bicycle valet parking.   Additional raffle tickets may be bought 
for $2.00 or 3 for $5.00.  Drawing for the prizes begins at 7:30 PM.  
Since the party is outside on the street in front of Redbones, capacity 
is unrestricted  and all are welcome - from cyclists to pedestrians, T 
riders to Zipcar members - reservations are not necessary.  

*Redbones is the lead sponsor and donates all the food for the event. * 
Other sponsors make raffle donations of up to $200.00 each in goods and 
services.  Items range from bike equipment to clothes, memberships to 
subscriptions, up to the grand prize from Alternative Needs 
Transportation - a cargo bike similar to the custom made Rib Rider used 
by Redbones for dinner deliveries.  For a complete list of sponsors,
