Great bike rides in Pioneer Valley

Maggie Freleng, Globe Correspondent
Canalside Trail Bike Path in Greenfield is flat, fun, and a great family ride. Park at the designated spot for the path. The trail crosses over the Connecticut on a bike-only rail bridge and continues on a flat, wooded trail until it reaches the Connecticut River Canal. From here the path is open and follows the canal until it ends at Unity Park, where children can enjoy the playground and adults the landscape.
Under an hour, free.
