In August, folks joined MyRWA Greenways Director, Amber Christoffersen, on a Mystic and Malden Rivers bike tour cohosted by MAPC’s LandLine Coalition.

At 12 miles, this ride took participants through Charlestown, Somerville, Medford, Malden and Everett to see the progress being made for better biking along the Mystic. Check out the photos to see newly paved paths and beautiful spots that are cycling/walking friendly.

Thank you to everyone who came out and all of our wonderful partners — the Medford Bike Committee, City of Everett, Bike to the Sea, Friends of the Mystic to Charles, and Friends of the Community Path — for making this a great event!
