Minuteman Bikeway
I went for a ride out the Minuteman Bikeway today. It’s a wonderful bike path which follows the old train tracks from Cambridge through Arlington, Lexington, and Bedford.
You can still see reminders of the old commuter rail which ran along these tracks until the 60’s.
From the terminus in Bedford, there’s an extension which goes into Concord. Just after the Great Meadow (the one in Concord, not the one in Lexington which is named after Arlington) …
