What's Happening

The mission of Needham Bikes is to make bicycling a safer and more common mode of transport in town. Our current focus is on two specific 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.

Sharrows on Webster St.

An informational meeting was held on Wed. April 11, 2012 at 7:00 pm to discuss the placement of bicycle markings (called “Sharrows”) on both sides of Webster Street between Great Plain Avenue and Highland Ave. More information on the plan here.

Thanks to CRW!

The new signs on South Street were the result of a generous donation by the Charles River Wheelmen.
