Readying for Rides—Bicycle-Style
As part of BU's Earth Day 365 celebration, BU Cycle Kitchen (BUCK) and Boston Cafe Bikers hosted a bike washing and ride on Saturday, April 4, where students and community members could wash and get help maintaining their bikes. PQ Diengott, BU Transportation Services bicycle program manager, pitched in to help hose off bikes. After the bicyclists spiffed up their rides, they celebrated the spring weather with a bike ride into Cambridge.
