More than eight miles of The Farmington Canal Heritage Trail/East Coast Greenway offer many opportunities for healthy, low-cost recreation and fun in Simsbury, a lovely suburb of Hartford, CT. The Bicycle-Friendly Community also is graced with peaceful country roads, with river and mountain views, and a charming town center.

See how Simsbury is celebrating National Bike Month in May with an extravaganza of bicycle rides and events, most of which are FREE! Guided rides are "geared" to all ages, and all abilities. Bike Walk Simsbury! is organizing the packed schedule.

It's definitely time to get that bicycle out of the garage, fill the tires, check the brakes and escape to the bike trail. What better way to enjoy an afternoon with family or friends - or spend some quality time alone?
