Boston Campus by Bike

A healthy and sustainable way to travel

Biking is a great way to exercise and save money on your commute to campus.  Your safety and convenience are important to Northeastern, as we provide bike racks throughout campus and offer bike registration through the NUPD.  There is also the convenience of Boston’s bike share program with BlueBikes for those who want the flexibility it offers. Biking is a more sustainable and healthy way to travel compared to driving.
