The Minuteman Commuter Bikeway Trail is great for those wanting to get in and out of the Boston area by bike or by foot. The entire trip itself is 20.3-miles if you plan the entire out-and-back full length trek, otherwise the path stretches 10 miles one-way, but there are a lot of extensions that lead off from it. It is quite well traveled so expect traffic - bikes, pedestrians, etc

Multiple bike shops, repair places, and shops to get drinks and food along the way.
