As a health care and academic area, the LMA community is committed to health and healthy living. Many people in the area choose bicycling as a convenient way to commute and “work their workout” into their daily schedules. To ensure biking into and around the LMA area is as safe and enjoyable as possible, Longwood Collective has been collaborating for many years with city and state agencies to plan and install bicycle infrastructure in the area and provide added safety features for cyclists. 

The LMA offers many resources to support commuters who bicycle to the area. Please see the links below to optimize your LMA biking experience:
