Happy Bike Month! (Every month is bike month but especially May)
Even though we believe every month is bike month, May is officially bike month! As the weather warms up, so do things at the BUCK so make an appointment if you know your bike needs some love after this year’s cold winter.
We’re open every week this May, Tuesday through Saturday with a full event schedule to match. Given it’s officially bike month, we have a great list of events this month. Also, check out MassBike’s Bike Friendly Events Calendar and boston bike events for even more bike festivities to celebrate the warmer weather. If you’re leaving and don’t want to bring your bike with you, we’re excited to announce that we are offering the Storage and Surrender Service again this year. Click below for more info!
On campus for the summer? All bike room access on campus expires May 31st every year. Renew your registration today for contiguous secure storage! We’re trying something different this year, so pay close attention to the instructions emailed to you after renewal! Questions? We got answers.
Keep your eyes peeled. We’re hoping to schedule a weekly mid-day ride to make sure pq gets some fresh air, and you do, too!
And finally, if you see our Jerry around, be sure to wish him congratulations and tell him how much we’ll miss him, and honestly, all our Thursday morning coffee regulars!
