Summary

The Minuteman Bikeway boasts more than a vibrant present. It has a storied past that includes, as the name implies, a role in Revolutionary War times. The trail travels through the area where the Revolutionary War began in April 1775.

On the Minuteman Bikeway traveling north into Arlington, we'll begin to understand why this trail is popular with pleasure seekers and commuters alike. Heading northeast from Cambridge, the bikeway connects Arlington, Lexington, and Bedford, easing access to neighborhoods, schools, and such natural areas as Spy Pond and Great Meadows
