MIT PN2K presents: Spooks & Spokes!

The most awesome aspect of our bike events? The people. PN2K strives to work with partners that truly care about bike safety and getting you in and out without spending more than needed. As a result, our events are free (admission ticket: $0 for you and your friends), including the food, music, education, and entertainment. Instead of helmets for $40-60 bucks, we have "Kyaw helmets" that go for $20.

This October 30, MIT PN2K hosted Spooks & Spokes in which Armando and Rob from Bike Boom came out to help with free minor bike tune-ups and repairs again. If you don't know of this bike shop in Davis Square (off the Red Line), you should definitely check them out.

Furthermore, we had Robynn and David from the MIT Parking & Transportation Office helping students to register their bikes with MIT (free -- just in case their bikes are stolen or random bike racks are removed, these owners can be contacted). Surprise volunteers popped up and helped with overall event execution plus fixing of bikes and making the flat tire repair stations possible! WMBR kept the energy high with the eclectic range of music and high energy in their participants. And Star Market, we thank you guys for making so many Halloween sweet treats available.

The next day, Oct 31, a smaller group of MIT PN2K cyclists gathered to join 700+ other cyclists in the 2014 Boston Halloween Bike Ride, as part of a monthly bike ride organized by Boston Bike Party. Immense crowds, cycling in solidarity, wearing eclectic costumes, blasting loud music. What could be better? It was amazing to see the ginormous numbers of cyclists (they definitely surprised critical mass) who all banned together to ring their bells, shout out in support of cyclists' rights, and defend each other in the face of motorists who honk in annoyance rather than the friendly ones encountered along the way who honk repeatedly in support! Here, here! These Friday evening bike rides might just become a thing. Let us know if you want to help lead one!
