Overview

On this tour, you’ll cross the Charles River and enter the City of Cambridge. Renowned as one of America’s most bicycle-friendly cities, you will experience the atmosphere and appeal of Cambridge as only possible on two wheels.

This extensive tour, specifically designed to provide you with the overall experience of Cambridge, includes:
• Harvard Square, the heart of America’s oldest university
• Central Square, a vibrant center of music and culture
• The beautiful Charles River
• The Stata Center, Frank Gehry’s only building in Massachusetts
• MIT, The Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The tour is 2.5-3 hours long and covers 11-13 miles. From the cycling paths on the Charles River to the booming industry of Kendall Square, this tour will show you the most exciting and vibrant parts of Cambridge!
