This thirst-quenching North German Pilsner brewed with imported malts and citrus-forward hops is the perfect refreshment to toast with friends to the completion of the bike ride. Even if you are not joining us for the ride, feel free to join us for the launch party – it will run in Lamplighter’s taproom from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. A portion of sales from the day benefits <a href="https://bikesnotbombs.org/">Bikes not Bombs</a>. Bikes Not Bombs uses the bicycle as a vehicle for social change to achieve economic mobility for Black and other marginalized people in Boston and the Global South. The launch party is family-friendly, free to attend and will include opportunities to receive REI coupons and win prizes. All are welcome! Register for the launch party here at <a href="https://beersandgearsparty.eventbrite.com./">https://beersandgearsparty.eventbrite.com.</a>  In addition to sipping on the first pours of Well Spoke, Lamplighter will offer their full draft menu as well as special “Tour de Lampe” flights featuring four post-ride favorites. REI's Mobile Bike Shop Pop-up and REI bike techs will be onsite at the taproom for free bike checks and quick fixes. Test bikes on the Co-op Cycles Generation e1.1 Electric Bike will be available as well.   Lamplighter Brewing Co.’s Cambridge Crossing “CX” Taproom is open from 12 pm – midnight on Friday and Saturdays. Please note that the taproom is 21+ after 6:00 pm, and guests will be asked to show a valid government-issued photo ID at this point. Dedicated parking is not available, so the following modes of transport are encouraged: walking, biking, Uber-ing, or taking public transport – the Lechmere T-stop is right nearby, the 69 bus runs directly to the area, and there’s a Blue Bike station right next door.   The <a href="https://www.rei.com/stores/cambridge">REI Cambridge</a> store is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. and Saturday &amp; Sunday from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. The Cambridge REI store validates parking at the 222 Jacobs Street Garage and it costs $10 after validation on the weekends.     Cheers to a day of beers and gears!
