Home <-> Boston Logan by Bicycle

I’d advocate for us to go even further and normalize the choice to do the entire trip to or from Boston Logan by bicycle and a bit of Blue Line. By getting more people to make this choice, we can challenge the deeply ingrained notion that all transit experiences to the airport must inherently be chaotic and gas-powered.

After some trial and error, here is the path I’ve determined is best (yes, it does still require one stop on the Blue Line).

(1) Navigate by bicycle from your starting location to Aquarium Blue line station, which is equipped with elevators if you choose to use them.

(2) Take your bicycle one stop on the Blue Line (Aquarium -> Maverick). Note that bicycles are not technically allowed on the Blue Line from 7am-9am inbound and 4pm-6pm outbound on weekdays. This is indeed sometimes enforced.

(3) From Maverick, follow the path described in the first section of this article.

Some readers of this post over on Reddit are also advocating for the path to Logan through Chelsea via Beacham street that is 100% by bike. I’ve heard mixed reviews of safety, through have yet to try it out myself.

Logan has bike parking available at multiple terminals. Below are photos of the Terminal A parking options. Some of the bike posts include wheel attachments for added theft protection. Personally I like Terminal A the best for proximity to the harbor walk, but have also used the covered parking at the Rental Car center before. You can check out the Boston Cyclist’s Union Guide for a list of all of your bike parking options.
