BU Bikes

BU’s currently working on installing a ton of new bike racks all around campus. Most noteworthy and exciting so far are:

the wonderful new bike rack bars at the Guitar Center 730 Comm. Ave/General Classroom Building Parking Garage:

Which nobody realizes is actually a bike rack yet:

and the nine new hanger style racks installed in the rear parking lot of CAS, which as of this morning, had my bike and BU BIkes faculty advisor Seth’s bike locked to:

Apparently nobody realized these racks existed either as the only other bike rack crippling away behind CAS was packed:

It’s really great to see the university respond to the previous lack of bike parking, and its obvious the next step is education to let people know about all these great new racks and how to use them (you can expect more on that from us later). I do have concerns about people actually safely and conveniently accessing the rear parking lot, but I guess we’ll see how that pans out in the next few weeks when school is in full swing. And of course, I will continue to keep you all updated on new bike racks across campus as I discover them.
