How to Start Commuting by Bike

It’s been over two months since many of us have been able to safely head into work, and even longer since we could ride the T without thinking of the threat posed by COVID-19. For some, remote work is coming to an end: with Massachusetts entering into phase one of reopening on May 25th, Tufts researchers will be getting back into their labs, and some offices can resume work at a reduced capacity. Yet, with the Baker-Polito administration admitting that public transportation “unavoidably creates some risk” for COVID-19 transmission, many are still wary of taking the T.

In order to help you navigate safe and sustainable transit during this time, the Office of Sustainability has put together a How-To Guide on creating your own bicycle commute. Check out our tips on designing a route, maintaining your bike, and more on our blog.
