A Few Things to Note:

  • The Town of Truro provides bike racks at all town beaches, Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA) bus stops, and other public locations.
  • For your safety always wear a helmet. They are required for all cyclists under the age of 17.
  • You must ride on the RIGHT side of the road and obey all traffic laws, signs, and traffic lights.

  • The Claire Saltonstall Bikeway is a 135-mile bikeway that starts on the Charles River Bike Path in Boston and ends in Provincetown. The bikeway was named in memory of Claire Saltonstall, the daughter of Senator William L. Saltonstall. Claire was killed by an automobile in 1974 while she was riding her bicycle. Senator Saltonstall was a sponsor of bicycle safety legislation and was instrumental in developing the bikeway. The route was originally marked as Bike Route 1.
