[2] Senator Saltonstall was a sponsor of bicycle safety legislation and was instrumental in developing the bikeway.

Nearly all of the roads along the bikeway are paved and leave enough room to comfortably ride in a bike lane.

The only exception is on the Sagamore Bridge where you must walk your bicycle due to state safety regulations.

The bikeway follows down the Riverway bike paths, passing the Longwood Medical Area, down to the Emerald Necklace.

You must then exit to West Roxbury Parkway at the rotary and pass by the Bellevue MBTA station.

It is a concurrent with MA 28 into Avon, where it exits onto E. High St. heading towards Boundary St. and eventually N. Quincy St. in Brockton.

At the end of the access road, it turns left onto Thatcher St and continues as Elm St. in East Bridgewater.

It turns onto MA 3A for half a mile before exiting onto South St. and eventually becoming Long Pond Rd.

Access to the bridge is available by going straight on Canal Street just past the Sagamore Park and Ride lot on the right.

The bikeway continues following back roads and bike paths for 67 miles on Cape Cod starting in Bourne, coming off the Sagamore Bridge onto Adams St. and Sandwich St. which becomes MA 6A.
