For this week’s group “ride,” BU Bikes will be leading a trip to the Beth Israel Hospital Gift Shop to buy low cost ($7.99) helmets. If you need a helmet or know a friend who does, join us at Marsh Plaza for this helmet run (and bring the friend along for sizing if necessary). We’ll also lead a group on foot (20 minute walk) for any BU Biker who doesn’t have a helmet yet.
What: Low-cost helmet run
When: Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 5:15pm (depart at 5:30pm) (rain or shine)

In case of rain, please bring an umbrella (or whatever other rain gear you need). This helmet run will happen even if it rains.
