Ride for Our Republic is a recurring pro-democracy bike ride on the last Saturday of the month.
In the spirit of Paul Revere and on the 250th anniversary of the first American Revolution, we cycle together to sound the alarm of tyranny and fight for our democracy.
Next Boston #Ride4Republic is Sat. May 31st at 10am. We bike on a combination of bike paths and roads for a total of 12.7 miles, but you can join or end your ride at the waypoints where we network and rally. We will share a picnic lunch at the end of the ride.

Waypoints:
7 Hills Park Davis Square in Somerville at 10:45-11am
Uncle Sam Park in Arlington Center at 11:30-11:45am.
Ending Point: Minuteman Bikeway, Lexington Center, where we will eat a picnic lunch together.
