Bring the Family: The Cape Cod Canal bike path

Amelia, our daughter, turned 10 this spring and got a 24-inch bicycle. Now she and our 13-year-old sons, Aidan and Liam, are all equipped for jaunts longer than simply pedaling around the neighborhood. You couldn’t ask for better weather last Monday, so we loaded our five bikes into the minivan — three inside, two on a rack — and headed for Cape Cod Canal.
