The Acton Recreation Department is delighted to announce the return of adaptive bike rentals. The bikes make it possible for people of all abilities to ride on the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail or around Acton.Our fleet of bikes include: 2 adult recumbent trikes, 1 adult hand cycle, 1 adult trike, 1 adult side-by-side trike, and 2 child trikes.
Our rental program runs from Saturday, May 27 through August 27, 2023. To rent a bike outside of this timeframe, please contact the Acton Recreation Department directly. To reserve a bike, please go to www.actonrec.com and follow the prompts on the date, time, and the bike you’d prefer. This rental program is FREE for Acton residents, and $5 for non-residents to help with the maintenance of the bikes. After you sign up for a timeslot, go to NARA Park, 25 Ledge Rock Way, Acton, and speak with the park ranger there who will help you get your bike. We recommend getting to the park at least 15 minutes before your designated time. Please bring a photo ID as collateral when you take the bike with you.
All riders must wear a helmet. We suggest you bring your own as we have a limited supply to lend out. Have a cellphone on hand; if you have any issues on your bike ride, call NARA’s office for assistance: 978-929-6641. If you have any questions about this program, please email recreation@actonma.gov or call 978-929-6640 ext. 0.
