Better biking in Needham, MA

Welcome to Needham Bikes!

Needham Bikes promotes the safe and widespread use of bicycles for transportation and recreation in Needham, Massachusetts.

What's Happening

Focusing on three primary projects related to Needham biking:


Bicycling Plan for Needham
Needham Bikes is working to create better, safer biking conditions in Needham by updating and implementing the nine year old plan.

The Bay Colony Rail Trail
Imagine biking from Needham to Medfield, 7 miles on a shared-use path through beautiful conservation land and over the Charles River. Needham Bikes supports the effort to convert those inactive tracks into a rail trail, for use by bicyclists, strollers, joggers, walkers and many other non-motorized travelers.

Needham in Motion: A town-wide campaign in May 2010 to encourage residents to walk and bike more, and drive less.
