Here's one more reason to leave your car behind on trips to Boston: the city is getting ready to launch its Hubway bike-sharing system this summer, with 600 bikes available for cheap hourly rates all across the city.
Both North and South Stations (the arrival points for the Downeaster and Concord Coach, respectively) will have on-site stations where travellers can pick up a bike. You'll need to buy a membership, and , but if you return your bike to another station within 30 minutes, the ride is free.
Before you go, download the Spotcycle app to find stations and available bikes with your phone.

So wait a minute -- does this mean that there's now an alternative to the T connecting Amtrak going N to Amtrak going S out of Boston? I mean, no disrespect to 'take the orange line and then walk 12 blocks', but that would make getting to NYC via Amtrak a lot more sensible if you ask me.
Gotta do some research...
I suppose that's true. Although the bike ride would be tricky with luggage...
Tried this - was really convenient. Bikes weigh a ton, but have really comfortable seats and a practical track on the front. I'd do it again in stead of bringing my own bike.
