Bike riding in Brewster?

There is a bike rack at the end of the parking area at the Cobb House Museum!

After visiting the Museum head to the Windmill Village 1.8 mi. to the west! Ride 1 mi. on Lower Rd to the Paines Creek intersection. This is a fairly straight and low traffic area. Along the way are two conservation trails; The Eddy Sisters Trail and the Eddy Bay Trail. At the intersection stop at Kate’s Seafood walk-up window serving fried seafood & ice cream or Dunkin on the opposite side.
(Here you can also ride a short side trip down to Paines Creek Beach.)
Continue west on Rt 6A roadway another .1 mi. to pick up a sidewalk at the Cape Cod Natural History Museum. Sidewalk continues to the Drummer Boy Park and the Windmill Village. There are bike racks at this location.
