BUCKtober!
It’s been a crazy first month of school here the BUCK! We’ve seen over 500 of you guys and counting in just the first month you’ve been back! To everyone who has been gracious and patient while they’ve been here, and to those of you who came to celebrate our first birthday, a resounding thank you! Next time you’re here, grab a pin or a first birthday spoke card. We’re so glad you’re part of our story.
We’re looking forwards seeing more of you in October, and we’ll be hosting plenty more events to help you get through midterm season.
This week, we hosted a Used Bike Workshop, since folks are always asking for advice. Wish you’d been there? Come in and pick up the flyer we created with help from the University of British Columbia.
Have you ever had to ride in the dark because of a dead bike light, are you tired of charging your bike lights, or have you ever had your lights stolen? Then come to the BUCK to learn about the basics of dynamo lights, Wednesday, October 9th from 6-7PM! Friend of the BUCK Jason Rosenman will demonstrate a dynamo setup and talk about other kinds of illumination.
Want to help others see and be seen? Come by any Tuesdays from 5-7pm and hand out light on Comm Ave! Sign up for light brigade with friends!
Next Saturday, 10/12, BUCK will be CLOSED in observance of Yom Kippur. Thank you for understanding. Additionally, service will be limited from Wednesday, October 16th to Friday, October 18th, while pq attends a conference.
October is also the month of 1019! On Saturday, 10/19, help us celebrate our home, 1019 Commonwealth Ave. We’ll be hosting fun festivities at the BUCK to celebrate, as will the dorm next door, so don’t miss out.
Next, Femmechanics will be hosting Grrreasetime! at the BUCK. It’s an open shop, open to any women, femme, trans, and non-binary folk. Wednesday, 10/23 from 6-9PM. We’ll be partnering with the Faculty and Staff LGBTQIA+ office for this, so look for their swag and great snaxxx.
Our very own work-study, Jerry, is starting a new club for urbanism at BU! The BUrbanists will meet every week of October. Check out their Instagram @burbanists for full meeting information!
Finally, join the BUCK for an adventurous little ride. The Tiny Parks Ride will leave from the BUCK at 10:30AM, Saturday, 10/26, and tour some local green spaces. Bring a warm beverage, as we’ll stop to enjoy one of the parks. The ride will be about 10 mi, and move at a party pace. We’ll be back at the BUCK to open at 1. The space will be extra busy that day, as we’ll be hosting League of American Cyclist’s Smart Cycling class. If you’re here, say hi to our future local bike instructors.
Coffee? Coffee. Every Thursday. 8-10. Meet other local riders and learn tips and tricks about how to traverse Boston streets.
Whew! Can’t wait to see you!
