The Minuteman Bikeway
America's Most Celebrated Bike Path
|
|
Today, the Minuteman Bikeway is one of the most popular and successful rail-trails in the United States, enjoyed by thousands of people each day for both healthy recreation and transportation. The bikeway has become a new type of “Main Street” where neighbors and strangers alike come together while riding, walking, or skating on the path. |
Built by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on an inactive railroad, the Minuteman Bikeway has become a treasured regional resource, used by local residents and visitors from near and far.
Connecting to the Alewife “T” Station in Cambridge, the bikeway provides an easy way for bicyclists and pedestrians to travel to subway and bus lines, serving to reduce automobile traffic in the area.
The bikeway is collectively managed and maintained by the four communities it passes through: Bedford, Lexington, Arlington, and Cambridge.
