About Cycling in Medford

Medford has a population of 57,000 residents and is located along the Mystic River, a few miles northwest of Boston. It is part of Middlesex County and borders Winchester, Arlington, Somerville, Malden and Everett. It is home to Tufts University on the Medford and Somerville border and the Middlesex Fells Reservation.

Residents can catch the MBTA Orange Line train from Wellington Station into Boston, and there is bus service. But over the years, as traffic congestion has increased in the Boston area, many residents have chosen to travel by bike.

As cycling has increased, so have bicycle accidents in the Boston area, including in Medford. In 2014, a cyclist was hit and killed on the Mystic Valley Parkway in Medford, between Hastings Lane and Daly Road, drawing attention to risks cyclists face in that area.

The Medford Bicycle Advisory Commission and the City of Medford have committed to improving cycling infrastructure across the city to make riding easier and safer. In 2015, the city announced new bike lanes would be built near Medford High School and Medford Vocational Technical High School.

In addition, the city committed to adding Shared Lane Markings or “sharrows” on the roads and signs reading “Bicycles May Use Full Lane” on many local streets.

The Medford Bicycle Advisory Commission (Medford Bikes) is active in promoting bicycle safety, maintaining an informative website, conducting annual cyclist counts and organizing community events on safe riding techniques. Breakstone, White & Gluck has partnered with Medford Bikes through our Project KidSafe campaign, donating bicycle helmets for kids at Medford Day.

What to Do You if You Are Injured in a Medford Bicycle Accident

New infrastructure can help protect cyclists, but bicycle accidents​ can still happen when drivers make mistakes or are reckless. If you are injured, visit a hospital emergency room or contact your primary care doctor immediately. Then, contact an attorney to learn your rights for seeking compensation. There is a Statute of Limitations in Massachusetts and you have a limited amount of time to file a claim.
