Some Hubway Stations Are Staying Open All Winter!

Written by Boston Biker on Dec 03

from Hubway:
This time of year brings out the best in Hubway riders. Case in point: last week’s#TakeHubway #GiveThanks #GetPie events saw riders bring in over 300 canned food items for donations. Here’s a pic of just some of the items along with members of our staff volunteering their time to collect and deliver the cans.

The generosity of our members made us even more excited to make this announcement: more Hubway stations will be open this winter than any other winter before! For the third year, almost all Cambridge stations will remain open year-round. Plus, more than 70 of Boston’s off-street stations and 2 in Somerville will stay open through December 31st, weather permitting! Click here to view the list of all stations open this winter.

With colder days expected, there are a few things to keep in mind while riding (or getting ready to ride). Check out Hubway’s winter-riding tips here.

With member perks, opportunities to add your voice to shaping the future of cycling in the metro-Boston area (see below), and an expanded Hubway season, there’s plenty of bike-related goodness for which to stay thankful (even after Thanksgiving).

Enjoy your wintry rides,
The Hubway Team
Boston Bikes is part of Boston’s vision for a vibrant and healthy city that benefits all, with the goal to make Boston a world-class bicycling city by creating safe and inviting conditions for residents and visitors.

The Boston Bikes Advisory Group (BBAG) consists of individuals who live, work, and/or bike in Boston. Members serve as liaisons to the greater biking community and advise the Active Transportation Director on priorities related to cycling in Boston including: the implementation of the network plan, safety and education campaigns, and community events. While the BBAG does not have authoritative power, members provide input that helps to shape the future of cycling in Boston.

During monthly meetings members have the opportunity to give input on the work of Boston Bikes and interface with others in the community who work on issues related to cycling in Boston. Outside of meetings, members are asked to support the work of Boston Bikes through various volunteer opportunities.
