Scores of cyclists traversed the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway on Saturday, September 29 to mark the historic rail trail’s 25th birthday.
The Friends of the Minuteman Bikeway set up a bicycle repair station and free ice cream donated by Bedford Farms was distributed by the Bedford Chamber of Commerce. Dave Enos and his touring bicycle ferried jazz harpist Deborah Henson-Conant (along with her electric harp and its speaker) along the Bikeway, providing music to passersby.
The day in pictures:
Haiku were painted on the Bikeway, to be read along the route. This one was painted in front of the Bikeway Source, at the center of the Bedford celebration – Image (c) JMcCT, 2018 all rights reserved – Click to view a larger image
