Tufts Bikes is proud to co-host…
– With State Senator Patricia Jehlen
_________________________________________________________________________
Are you interested in renewable energy and how college campuses can adopt clean power? Come stop by Eaton 202 on October 5th from 6-7pm for a panel discussion about renewable energy at Tufts, featuring State Senator Patricia Jehlen!
Environment America is a national, citizen-funded environmental advocacy organization. Hosted by Tufts Climate Action, Tufts Progressive Alliance and Tufts Bikes, we’ll be releasing a series of of 10 fact sheets outlining strategies for universities like Tufts to move towards 100% renewable energy by 2050.
We invite you to attend this discussion for thoughtful dialogue about renewables and to see how you can get involved on campus to help achieve this goal. This is a public event open to all staff and students. We hope to see you there!

Come on, come all!
We are getting a group together to ride bikes at the Charles this Sunday (that’s tomorrow). The weather is going to be spectacular, hopefully. We’ll be meeting at the campus center, home to many beautiful Tufts bikes, at 9:30AM. We will then ride the Minuteman trail down to the river and stay around the area to bask and possibly eat hummus in the sunshine. We should be back to Tufts by 11:30 or so.
Come if you want to meet some of your Tufts Bikers, while doing one of the most fun activities humankind has conceived of thus far. Or if you are really into hummus in the sunshine. No serious biking experience necessary, and you can rent a bike for free at either the Campus Center or Tisch. See you tomorrow!

Have you ever rented a bike from us and wondered what goes on behind the scenes? Have you ever wanted to fix your own bike but didn’t know where to start?
Our free campus bikeshare was founded 6 years ago by a group of motivated students who aimed to expand the accessibility of biking at Tufts. Because our share is entirely student-run, we depend on the participation and support of our fellow students to keep it alive. We are looking for capable students to take on challenging leadership roles for next year.
What we do:
If you would like to learn bike repair or administration skills, please join us for the 2017-18 school year. Whatever your experience and skill sets are, there is a place for you in Tufts Bikes and we really do need your help to keep this awesome service running. Absolutely no prior experience is necessary, just a commitment to learn! Please join our team for next year by sending us an email and introducing yourself: tuftsbikeshare@gmail.com
