Bicycling in the Southwest Corridor
The Pierre Lallement Bicycle Path (also called the Southwest Corridor Bicycle Path) runs along the Southwest Corridor, approximately 4.7 miles. The bike path is a major commuting artery that links the neighborhoods in the southwest section of Boston to the downtown and is a popular destination for bicyclists. There are numerous stopping points along the way, including benches, playgrounds, water fountains and sports facilities. The path travels near a variety of good restaurants and stores. Near the Forest Hills end of the path, it is an easy link to Franklin Park and to the Arnold Arboretum. Near Roxbury Crossing, Ruggles and Mass. Ave. it is an easy link to parks and cultural attractions in the Fenway neigbhorhood and to the South End, Back Bay and Copley Square. Hubway bike sharing stations (see link below) are available near many of the MBTA orange line stations along the bike path.
