The first annual “Haunted ‘Hey-Ride’” with Urban AdvenTours and Pedro’s
Get ready for a frightfully good time with the UA Crew! We’ll be saddling up on Thursday morning to go for a “Haunted ‘Hey-Ride’” with our buddies from Pedro’s who make fantastic tools and bike care products. Come meet up at Urban AdvenTours at 103 Atlantic Ave this Thursday, 10/28/10 at 9:30AM, ready to roll on a 25ish mile route through greater Boston.
We’ll visit some of the area’s famous haunted spots, including some cemeteries, a trick-or-treat stop at Taza Chocolate and lunch at Bleacher Bar in the Green Monster! It will all be horrifyingly delicious.
Wanna come but don’t have a bike? Urban AdvenTours will have discounted bike rentals available. We’ll also be offering 20% off of any gear you might want to bundle up in, like our “Bike Boston” hoodies and classy wool jerseys.
Be sure your bike is ready to roll and to bring $15 to cover lunch at Bleacher Bar. Come meet up with Boston area cyclists, and say “hey!” this Thursday!
Well wishes to tour guide Ted
We heard some pretty terrible news last week. Ted Schwartzberg, City Hall employee for the Boston Redevelopment Authority by day and Urban AdvenTours tour guide extraordinaire in his free time, was hit by a car while riding his bike.
We’re sending all our healing vibes to Ted’s broken leg and we wish him a speedy recovery. He’s gonna miss the Fall Foliage tour season, but here are some of his stellar moments from past tours:
Across the Fort Point Channel on the Bikes@Night tour he helped design
Getting comfy on the Big Hammock along the Rose Kennedy Greenway
Ride safely out there everyone, and help pass along the right information, like MassBikes’ Same Roads. Same Rules. Get well Ted!
Grab your beer koozy and join the Urban AdvenTours Bike and Brew tour!
It’s getting nice and crisp out, so what better way to nestle into fall than with a fresh local brew? We’ll be riding down to Harpoon Brewery once again this Sunday, October 17 at 2PM. The Bike and Brew Tour cruises through South Boston’s Fort Point and Seaport neighborhoods before riding over to the Harpoon Brewery for an all access tour and tasting. Here’s a preview photo tour to get you geared up:
Ride along the HarborWalk and Rose Kennedy Greenway with views of Boston’s downtown skyline
Cross the channel into Fort Point and see the spectacular new Institute of Contemporary Art
Pedal along the Seaport and South Boston before arriving at Harpoon Brewery
Our all access tour through the brewery gets a taste of “green” beer
The tasting room at Harpoon Brewery where our Harpoon guides tell us about the different styles and flavors of beer and cider
Looks like a great time?! Reserve a spot now to come ride with us this Sunday!
Get dirty with Kona demos at NEMBAfest this weekend!
If you don’t already have plans for this weekend think about heading north to the 8th annual Kona Bicycles-Fox Shox MTB Adventure series in Allenstown, New Hampshire. It’s a great opportunity to hit the trails, eat some great food, and check out Kona’s new 2011 line of bikes. You can find all the details here.
If you can’t make it out to the woods this weekend make sure to stop by the shop where we have a full size run of Kona mountain bike rentals.

Brightening up with reds and yellows
While it may be grey and damp today, the forecast for this weekend calls for warmer temperatures and sunnier skies. A brighter forecast isn’t the only thing we expect to see this weekend. We’re rolling right into peak foliage season too!
Our buddies over at TripAdvisor have listed Boston as the number two Fall Foliage Destination for the United States, and we couldn’t be happier to hear it. So we’re pretty excited to have an Emerald Necklace and Fall Foliage tour heading out on both Friday and Saturday of this weekend and one available on Monday too, for Columbus day.
So come explore Boston’s great parks system on two wheels! Keep it green while you ride through the changing reds, oranges and yellows.
