Physical therapist Jess Goldberg of Florence has regularly commuted by bicycle to her job in Hadley, a roughly 30-minute trip. Here she’s seen crossing the Connecticut River on the Norwottuck Rail Trail on her way to Tran's World Food Market in Hadley.

Salem Mazzawy, of Granby, seen here biking through Northampton, says “I’m far more comfortable on a bike. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense for me to have a car right now.”
