November? No Way!
UPDATES
- The BUCK will be closed on Saturdays until Spring Break. Your patience allows PQ to cook up future programing here at the Cycle Kitchen.
- BUCK will ALSO be closed after this Friday the 22nd, through Monday December 2! That means NO OPEN SHOP next week!
The air is crisp, the leaves are falling, and it’s getting dark earlier than ever. Just because fall is FINALLY here doesn’t mean biking season is over though. Its more important than ever to keep you chain lubricated to protect it from rain, and fill your tires regularly to prevent flat tires. Hazards like wet train tracks and wet leaves can appear as if out of nowhere, try to navigate around them. Here at the BUCK, we’ve got some fun things planned before you go home for Thanksgiving! But first! Did you know there have been over 900 sign ins at the BUCK since the beginning of semester? That’s a lot of Terriers. Thanks for your patience and visits.
What’s on deck this month? If you’ve indicated interest in volunteering, we need your help more than ever. With Daylight Savings in effect, the sun sets at 5 pm! Help other commuters by distributing lights, Tuesday nights from 5-7pm. Sign up here to help us out!
