Join Cambridge, Arlington, Lexington, and Bedford to Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway
Saturday, September 29: Minuteman Commuter Bikeway 25th Anniversary Celebrations, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Cambridge will kick off the celebrations at 9:00 AM at the beginning of the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway behind the Alewife T Station. We'll have giveaways, maps, and smiles!
Come celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway, as Arlington, Lexington, and Bedford host a tri-town celebration of the popular rail-trail. The bikeway was completed and dedicated by the three towns during 1992-93, and its success has inspired countless rail-trail and pathway projects in New England and beyond. Community celebrations will be held simultaneously along the bikeway in all three towns from 11 am to 3 pm. You are welcome to visit as many activities as you like in Arlington Center (Whittemore Park), Lexington Center (Visitors' Center lawn), and Bedford (near the Bikeway Source), as well as along the bikeway. Each location will feature conversations with local bicycle enthusiasts and bikeway representatives, information about current and future bicycling initiatives, and light refreshments. Planning is underway for special visual art and musical interludes along the path.
