THE REGIONAL BIKE NETWORK

Regional Bike Network Map

Greater Boston is home to a growing network of shared-use paths, cycletracks, and bike lanes that make riding into and out of the City more comfortable. Additionally, 70% of MBTA rapid transit stations co-locate with a Bluebikes station which creates a powerful shared mobility ecosystem. The interconnectivity of the bike infrastructure, Bluebikes stations, and rapid transit stops creates endless flexibility to serve your everyday mobility needs.

The thick green lines on the map are regional shared-use paths that feed the inner core. Counter-clockwise from the top right, they are:

- The Northern Strand Community Path
- The Minuteman Bikeway / Somerville Community Path
- The Charles River Paths
- The Southwest Corridor
- The Neponset River Greenway

Protected cycletracks are represented in dark blue. Apart from shared-use paths, these are the gold-standard of bike infrastructure. This map also includes bike lanes in blue, Bluebikes stations represented by blue dots, with dark blue dots being those colocated with transit, and the MBTA rapid transit lines. Use the "legend" toggle button in the top left-hand corner of the map frame to view these additional features. This map illustrates the limitless possibilities to expand your range by combining bikes and transit...choose your own adventure!
