Yesterday campus was filling up with eager new and returning students, and now, in a blink, midterms! If you’re starting to feel a little crispy around the edges, now is a great time to take a study break and give your bike some TLC before heading home for the holiday. Sometimes the weather turns suddenly and it might be a while before you ride again, so at the very least, pumping your tires, oiling your chain, and parking your (registered) bike in the closest bike room will go a long way to being ride ready again in the spring. Where to park inside? 10 Buick St and Warren Towers bike rooms both have lots of space!<\/p>\n

Speaking of protecting yourself from the weather, now that there are as many leaves on the ground as on the trees, its a good time to remember that wet leaves are slippery! Puddles, wet leaves, train tracks and other wet metal in the pavement are all hazards to be avoided and steered around. Aside from puddles, treat all the above hazards as if they are ice- no abrupt stops or turns, to keep yourself upright. How else can you keep yourself dry, you might ask? Well, read on!<\/p>\n
