The trolley hums to life as 12 strangers grip handlebars and laugh, pedals clicking in unison while the electric assist eases the climbs through South End. Brick storefronts slide by, murals and taproom signs lining a corridor that once carried freight trains — now carrying a pub on wheels and its conversation.
