Bicycles and the MBTA

In Concord, there are two commuter rail stations, one in West Concord (ADA accessible, with one covered and two uncovered bike rack parking), and another station at Concord Depot (bike racks also available). Outside of morning rush hours, you can bring your bike with you on the train.

Bike for Books

The Concord Free Public Library is encouraging children, teens, and adults to bike to the library with the Bike for Books initiative. Every time you bike to the Main Library or the Fowler Branch, show your helmet to a library staff member to stamp your bike card. After 10 stamps, you earn a free $5 gift certificate to Bedford Farms. Thanks to the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library for sponsoring this program.
