Trails to Rails: A Tour celebrating the history and connections of Trails and Rails in Cambridge 

Join the Cambridge Bicycle Committee on a 14-mile ride exploring the history of multi-use trails and trains in Cambridge.

We will begin gathering outside the Cambridge Public Library Main Branch at 9:00 a.m. and depart promptly at 9:30 a.m. The ride will be escorted by the Cambridge Police Department's Bike Patrol and take about two hours, including a midway break.

The ride will go at a relaxed pace, but we ask that young children ride tandem with an adult (trailers, bike seats, tag-alongs, etc.).

Bike mechanics will be on hand before the ride to make quick safety checks. The mechanics will be making minor adjustments, like tire pressure, and emergency repairs only. Please make sure your bike is in reasonable working order before the ride. If you do not have a bike, we will provide a free Bluebikes Adventure Pass! Please send an email to [email protected] by May 15 to request your pass.

The ride will be cancelled in the case of heavy rain.

There is no registration or charge for the tour -- just show up and enjoy!

Location: Cambridge Public Library Main Branch/Joan Lorenz Park (449 Broadway)
