Bike Tours of Cambridge
Discover new places in the City and interesting routes between them on rides organized by the Cambridge Bicycle Committee. Each tour is themed, educating riders through brief talks and an informational brochure of images, text and map. The tours are designed to be accessible to all bike riders, moving at an easy pace in a group escorted by the Cambridge Police bicycle patrol. The rides are free of charge and end with free refreshments!
