Join Bob Oakes, WBUR’s host of Morning Edition, for this month’s edition of WBUR On Tap, our free monthly series in the WBUR Living Room. This month’s topic: biking in Boston.

The city has long been known — and feared — as one of the most bike-unfriendly spots in the nation. In recent years, though, it has made it onto some “best cities for biking” lists. So what’s the truth? And what has to happen to make Boston into the next, say, Portland?

Bob will have a few special guests to discuss all this and more. We’ll also be serving beverages and light snacks, so don’t forget your ID! The event is free, but registration is required.

Libations will be provided by Banner Beer Company. Based in Grafton Massachusetts, Banner Beer Company brews American style session beer with full hop flavor. Their two year-rounders American Ale (sienna color with floral hop finish) and American Rye (mahogany color with piney hop finish) will be on offer as well as Banner American Summer (straw color with citrusy hop finish). And with all of their beers coming in under 5% ABV, every day is a Banner day.
