Biking is a very popular pastime on the Cape. You can explore off-road trails such as Trail of Tears in the West Barnstable Conservation Area and the Badlands in Yarmouth Port. You can hop on road bikes, hybrids and cruisers and chart a course nearly anywhere on the Cape. The popular Cape Cod Rail Trail, which runs from South Yarmouth to Wellfleet, will soon connect to Barnstable. Bike shops throughout the two towns cater to any cyclist’s needs.
