The Berkshire Bike Path Council is working to create a border to border bikeway route of approximately 75 miles-utilizing railway corridors and related off-road bike paths where possible along with on-road bike lanes, extending from the Vermont border in Williamstown south through North Adams, Adams, Cheshire, Lanesboro, Pittsfield, Lenox, with further exploration needed for defining routes through Stockbridge, Lee, Great Barrington and Sheffield to the Connecticut border. This primary north-south route will serve as the central spine for secondary connections with diverse destinations, including schools, businesses, community centers, transportation links, recreational opportunities and other points of interest.

Monthly E-Newsletters: Tracking Our Progress
In 2008, the Berkshire Bike Path Council continues its volunteer citizen advocacy mission, working with local communities to support the creation of a regional bikeway network, and enjoying the ride along the way. In addition to providing tips on safe riding, places to ride, and fun riding events, our monthly newsletters provide progress reports on bikeway development in Berkshire communities and profile the key players working to make bicycling easier, safer and more fun in the Berkshires.

Please share your ideas on how we can make our enewsletters more useful to you and help us by sharing it with your friends
