Getting Doored at Boston University

Getting Doored at Boston University

Last year I made the life-altering decision to purchase a bike. I’ve always been an avid bike rider, because how else was I supposed to get around before I had a car? How was I supposed to get around this summer when gas cost more than four dollars?

 

I’ve always considered myself a highly capable r

Stop Tempting Me

Stop Tempting Me
Are tiny motorized things becoming an on-campus trend?

I saw this pocket bike (motorized mini racer motorcycle) outside of Sudikoff. It wasn't chained up.

They're on sale for $299!

Yes! I should go buy a motorcycle barely big enough for a kindergartener.

Because I want to look like this guy when I'm on it.

UW Credit Union Robber Goes Green?

UW Credit Union Robber Goes Green?
                  Aren't crimes involving bikes supposed to look more like this?

After robbing the Spring Street UW Credit Union at gunpoint, the thief fled on a...mountain bike.  What's this, an environmentally friendly bank robber?  

Wonder if he keeps his gun in a handle-bar basket?

UCD Reminds Students Where They Are
For some odd reason, UC Davis is going to paint its logos on their bike loops around campus. It probably has something to do about being proud of our bike loops, since we take so much pride that we're a "bike friendly" town, but honestly, it's pretty useless.

I guess they want to remind f... MORE »

Thug Life Baby!

Thug Life Baby!
Davis is known to be a "bicycle-friendly" town. Of course, what is never mentioned in the campus brochures is the one thing all students know: where there are bikes, there are bike thieves. At UCD, there is a general consensus that your bike will be stolen at least once during your attendance, guaranteed... MORE »
