We’re all for biking, especially because it helps us work off the calories we ingest at dining events all over town. And we’re especially for responsible and safe biking — which is why we recommend heading over to REDBONES (55 Chester Street, Somerville) on May 14, from 5 to 10 pm, for the restaurant’s 11th annual Bike Party and Benefit. The $15 entry fee includes bicycle valet parking, a Redbones sandwich, a soda or Harpoon beer, and two raffle tickets, plus live music. The event benefits the Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition and the New England Mountain Bike Association. The rain date is June 11; call 617.628.2200 for information.
