Cycling has become paramount in today’s everyday scheme. Not only racing, but daily commuting, leisure rides, and riding for exercise are becoming increasingly more commonplace. As more and more members of the Boston University community begin to participate with Cycling, and as our team continues to grow, we could not be more thrilled. Growing the sport or bicycle racing, especially the women’s field, is a part of what we do as committed cyclists. Our team boasts an outrageously high number of female racers (40%), a statistic we pride ourselves on given the historically male dominated stereotype of cycling. Getting other people excited about the pure and simple joy of riding and racing, and watching that simple enjoyment grow and propagate more riders is exactly what we want to be apart of. Having just finished a training weekend in the white mountains of New Hampshire this passed weekend with a crew of new BU Cycling members (and a couple of vets), it is clear that the enthusiasm we all feel for cycling is surely contagious, and is rapidly spreading.
In order for us to continue to grow the sport and our team as successfully as we have been doing, we must continue to maintain a healthy checking account. By donating to BU Cycling, you become part of a movement. Cycling has quite literally changed many of our lives here on the team, and we hope to continue this trend of betterment for many, many years to come. We hope to further our successes on and off the race course, in part, with your help.
To donate to BU Cycling, follow this link and choose “Friends of Cycling Team” as your designation. All proceeds go directly to BU Cycling to help our team travel to races, subsidize race fees, and to help send our most committed racers to national championships! As always, your support is greatly appreciated. We couldn’t do it without you!

It's that time again!
We will be placing our order for team kits at the beginning of next month. Please find attached the proofs for the new kits! Also attached is the form you will need to fill out and hand in with your check/money. If you are no longer in the Boston area, but want to rep BU out on your rides, please email me directly so that I may give you instruction about where to mail checks to. All checks must be made out to Boston University Cycling. Finally, to ensure that everyone gets their kits on time before the road season, we will require all orders and money to be handed in no later than November 10th. I know all to well that the cost of cycling clothing can be a lot to handle, but I promise you it is nice stuff and will last you. It is also required that all racers have a collegiate kit (not my rules, ECCC rules). Last year, I asked for a jacket for and early holiday present. Not a bad idea if there is something that you want but don't have the cash for now. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
