Preparation for MIT Bike Fest 2015 has been insane. For the first time ever, it's been forcing me to learn how to delegate tasks to the team, and it's wonderful - because the core team is very committed and I feel like we are all working diligently together to make sure this big event coming up is a success. Thanks to Tian for helping to schedule my day for me (this morning: Tian - "Did you just wake up?" Me - "No, I've been awake" Tian - "You're supposed to be printing now!"). Yaoming and I went around picking up all the goods ordered for Bike Fest: T-shirts, food donation from Star Market, raffle basket from Starbucks (to throw in with donations from MIT Facilities and gift certificates from local bike shops). We headed to MIT Activities Midway to check in (huuuuuge line) where we eventually met with Dingfang and Will.
MIT Activities Midway consists of the entire population of students coming to one area where all the student organizations congregate and entertain (with info and food). We did our bit, Yaoming helped package all the bike helmets that Will wheeled all the way over from Next House, and our historians then went to drop off these helmets at the MIT COOP for our big day Sunday.

Thanks, students and community, for joining us so far! We are excited by the energy that the start of the new school year comes in, and we hope that we can help keep you guys safe on your bikes while you're with us.
Don't forget to join us for our first GBM on the third Friday of this month, as well as other social activities and bike rides each week. Check out our calendar under "events" on PN2K.org for the latest info or like/follow us on social media.
Keep Calm & Pedal On!
