After starting out in Bedford be sure to pause a moment by the stone bench and memorial near Route 128 to a cyclist struck down by a drunken driver. Hop off the trail at Lexington Center to visit Battle Green or Minuteman National Historic Park.
Bike racks abound here.
On the way to Arlington, the path follows Great Meadow Wildlife Refuge. Arlington Center interrupts the path with a minor roadside detour. Follow the signs and soon you will reach Spy Pond and its playgrounds. The trail ends in Somerville's Davis Square. Not far away is the MBTA's Alewife Station where there's an abundance of bike racks.
