In the News: 'Minuteman still inspires'

I may be a bit behind the times, but at the end of June, in the aftermath of the Minuteman Bikeway becoming the first trail in the Northeast to be inducted into the Rail-Trail Hall of Fame (Hoorah! Is there anything they don't have a Hall of Fame for anymore?), the Boston Globe ran an article entitled "Popular trail gets better with time."

Discussing the many greens spaces that are directly accessible from the Minuteman, Jack Johnson, whom the author describes as wearing "many cycling hats," states that "it really is a greenway." I could not agree more!

If you've never been on the Minuteman (or even if you have) take a look at its maps and only begin to see the great places you can diverge from the path by bike or on foot. Be awed by an 11-mile stretch of car-free path to pulic places to play on playgrounds, rent kayaks, plan a picnic with an awesome view, go swiiming, or play a game of baseball. The options for outdoor fun are only growing and the bikeway provides some of the best access to these locations!

Two million people enjoy the Minuteman Bikeway, and I hope that, as this article implies, it continues to inspire people to create more of it's kind!
