So True; Funny How it Seems..
Exciting Stuff! I’m really sorry about the early and poorly announced cancellation of our group mtg. today but I promise it was for a good cause!
Graham and I (with the help of Open Bicycle lugged our Park Tools TS-2 truing stand from Union Square to Beacon Hill today and finally we as a group have a truing stand at our infinite and limitless disposal.
Tim Wholey you complete me! I felt just like BU Bikes lugging shit around campus like this like such as.. it was a great way to get in 10 miles of heavy towing in before class.
At the next group meeting on the 23rd we’ll learn how to use it! Keep in touch here and on facebook for Group Rides during Suffolk Bikes Cancun Beach Blast Spring Break Extravaganza 2010!
BARCC Ride 2.0
Campus Sustainability and the SUPD have a ton of phones for us to bring over to the BARCC again! We’ll be planning this out at the Group Meeting but get in touch (suffolkbikes@yahoo.com) if you’re interested!
Group Meeting: March 9th 2010
Hi gang!
We’ve got a group meeting on March 9th from 1-2 in the Sawyer Conference Room.
We just got a big e-mail about planning out the budget and elections for 2011 so expect some updates on that after this weekend. I’m headed to RVA for the North American Handmade Show. See you in March 
February Group Mtg. (Short for MEETING!)
February was named after the Latin term februum, which means purification, via the purification ritual Februa held on February 15 in the old Roman calendar. January and February were the last two months to be added to the Roman calendar, since the Romans originally considered winter a monthless period. -wikipedia (duh)
January Jones is almost over so I guess that means it must be time for a February Group Meeting. You may ask- where was the January Group Meeting? Well I don’t believe in January, I think it’s just the back of December.
Sawyer Conference Room Tuesday February 9th from 1-2PM Food Bikes etc. etc.
Gearing Up! (Pun!)
New Semester- and for the E-Board of Suffolk Bikes it is our last! We are really excited to start this week- the beginning of a semester is always fun, new classes, new rooms, classes with old friends and soon to be buds. Life is really a lot of fun until midterms come out of nowhere like a ninja crossed with a stealth bomber.
It’s also a cool time to change, open up a new chapter, maybe if you’re really cool you can try to mix things up- you could shave your beard. John.
I’m definitely excited. Four years at Suffolk and I feel wiser- I believe that enough to at least publish it on the internet (also strongly influenced by my desire to use Yoda pizza pic.)
But I really do feel optimistic and confident about this Semester of Suffolk Bikes. The Winter will be slow and not many are riding but for those who are we will definitely be rocking snow rides and more. We will be building up enthusiasm and our marketing/outreach campaigns. We’ve got some cool new supplies and we will just be riding (HA!) through the rest of the Winter onto Spring, graduation, and as much bike fun as possible. Check back for events and if you haven’t already- familiarize yourself with MySuffolk and SUconnect so you don’t fall behind. As always keep up with facebook for group rides and other bike friendly fun around town. See you in the streets:)

You Need a Bike Job!
This just came in the (facebook) Post from our buddy Galen of BU Bikes fame. Internships are great opportunities to get your foot in the door and who knows you might be helping out with tours by the end of the Summer!

Take a Break
Dearest of bike friendly friends. We hope you wound up your semester- year- and Holiday season on a good note. Nothing more important than time with the fam- especially after a long semester.
We are really looking forward to SP/10 and encourage you to come contribute this semester so we can continue to grow our group of friends while we eagerly await Spring and we can collectively do that thing where you try to think about what it’s like to wear shorts outside but it’s hard to remember.
Rest up- stay dry and warm and Look for more from us the first week of classes!
Bike Your Way to Sanity this Finals Week!
Do yourself a favor and get some of that stress out this weekend. There is no question as to the benefits of physical activity on the mind. It’s relaxing, stress relieving, and will actually help you be more productive and organized later on. If you’re not familiar with GOOD then check out this post citing the Department of Health report that proves riding a bike is a great stress and distress deterrent.
