and the Musical Mystery Bicycle
Tour<http://www.cambridgebikes.org/Spring2011/index.html> rolls
out at 10:30 AM sharp.

AM. Eastern
Mountain Sports <http://www.ems.com/> and Urban
AdvenTours<http://www.urbanadventours.com/> will
be adjusting tire pressure, shifters, and brakes, as well as checking for
secure handlebars, saddles, wheels and other moving parts.

Don’t have a bike ready for the ride? Take advantage of a discounted rental
from Urban AdvenTours. Call 617 670-0637 and tell them you’re riding with
us. You can get a bike rental from Urban AdvenTours for only $10!

If you have bike problems during the ride, both Eastern Mountain Sports and
Urban AdvenTours will have mechanics traveling with the tour to handle
emergency repairs.

We’re not just taking care of your bikes, we’re taking care of you too!
We’ll have free all-natural snacks bars from Kind<http://www.kindsnacks.com/>,
pizza samples freshly-baked by the local organic food supporters at
Zing!<http://www.zingpizza.com/>,
snacks and bottled water from Whole Foods <http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/>,
and post-ride sandwiches made for us by Trader Joe’s<http://www.traderjoes.com/>
.

If music be the food of love, you won’t go hungry there either. Performances
at selected points along our nine-mile route will include classical music
from Se-Eun Kim, bluegrass from one-man band Farrell Tipton, folk music with
the father-son combo of Jason and Joshua Hunt, acoustic covers and originals
by Leon Rich, the Misty Blue Jazz
Band<http://http://www.mistybluejazz.com/> with
Mary Howells, as well as the Air Traffic
Controller<http://www.myspace.com/airtrafficcontrollermusic/> concert
at MIT.

We’ll be making arrangement for perfect weather on Saturday, too. If the
skies don’t cooperate, a forecast of heavy rain will result in a
cancellation of the ride. We’ll make an annoucement at our
webpage<http://www.cambridgebikes.org/> on
Friday, May 20, to officially declare our Musical Mystery Bicycle
Tour<http://www.cambridgebikes.org/Spring2011/index.html> on
