Heads up! We temporarily moved the #MIT at Mass Ave / Amherst St #Bluebikes station half a block north—next to the big crosswalk at the Rogers Building—during sidewalk construction. It’ll go back in a few weeks. Did you know this is the busiest station in the whole system? @ridebluebikes.bsky.social
