Holiday Dreamin’
Another semester has passed so quickly! Before finals sneak up on you, and everyone heads home for break, there’s just a few quick notes. Due to some staffing changes, starting in December, BUCK will go back to closing at 2pm Thursdays. We will remain open on Saturdays for the time being, though project scope will be limited to what our all student crew feel like they can handle! They reserve the right to ask you to return with your complicated project during a different time. Thanks for respecting their boundaries.
Have you registered your bike yet? If not, now is the time. Why? Because the best thing you can do for your bike when you head home for the holidays is to park inside. Warren Towers, Stuvi 1, Howard Thurman, and Fenway Campus (Peabody and Pilgrim) bike rooms all have plenty of space. Protect your bike from the weather, rogue plows, and opportunistic disappearances. The BUCK closes for break at 7pm on Friday 12/19, so come see us quick to take advantage!
For faculty, staff and grad students: It’s time to apply for bike benefits! Follow the link to read our FAQ and find out if you qualify. Haven’t maxed out your spending? There’s still time to squeeze in a few more accessories for the year, and now’s the time when having extra lights or a new pair of fenders could really go a long way. And to celebrate your choosing to commute by bike, we’ll be having a little party next week! More details after the jump.

Babes Bike Bakeries Start at BUCK, Finish at Flour, Harvard Sq location
Join BUCK x Femmechanics for a festive, party pace, 15 mi ride with other FTWNB bikers. Ugly sweaters may be optional, but enough layers to remain comfy through the ride are imperative. We’ll be biking to all the Flour Bakery locations throughout the city to participate in their annual Holiday Window Challenge. Expect a brief stop at each location for group selfies, with two longer stops for snacks. We’ll compile the selfies and share on Instagram. Reshare the collage to receive a box of pastries from Flour in January.
12/9 Tuesday 4:00- 6:00 PM
Employee Commuter Benefit Party
If you get to BU by bike, even a little, come hang with your fellow bicycle commuters! Join us at the BUCK for an afternoon of drinks, snacks, socializing and maybe prizes?
