How many people on campus have bikes? Are they useful? What do people do with them in the winter?
Yes, but bring a good lock! My daughter just used a cable lock and had her bike stolen the first month of classes last year. There’s a bike theft ring that targets the Wellesley-Natick area. Some students do ride their bikes in the winter (not this winter, though!), but many students bring them home if they’re within driving distance, stash them in their rooms or in storage areas in their res halls. And I’ve seen more than a few locked to the racks all winter long, but I wouldn’t recommend this. It’s a very big campus for the number of students, so a bike does help.
Thank you!
I can also add that there is a bike share program - so if you don’t want to bring your own, you can rent one out.
