Northern Strand Community Trail

One of the first bicycle trips made in the 1890’s by the Malden Bicycle Club was to Revere Beach. 100 years later Bike to the Sea continues the tradition. Founded in 1993, Bike to the Sea, Inc. (B2C) is a charitable, non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation that promotes bicycling and bicycle safety in the Malden area.

B2C promotes the development of a bicycle and pedestrian trail from the Malden area to the beaches of Lynn and Revere. A state feasiblity study conducted has concluded that a trail to the sea along the Saugus Branch rail line is feasible. The trail will begin along the Malden River in Everett near the proposed TeleCom City where it will connect to trails heading to Boston and Medford. Heading north to Malden, then east, the trail travels past the locations of the old Maplewood and Linden rail stations to the spectacular vistas of Rumney Marsh in North Revere. Local families will be able to pedal to the Saugus Ironworks or the Saugus River and then to a pathway along the Lynn Waterfront that will connect to Nahant and Revere Beaches. Read more…
