@jerzone Nice set of trails centered around Northampton. I ride them whenever I’m out there.

@jerzone Northampton has a small bike rental system. Not sure if it operates in the winter though. I've ridden a couple of them when I was in town without my own.

@mack505 we’re in Springfield now waiting for bus back, exploring transport for kid who may or may not go to Amherst. 😉

@jerzone Public transport to Springfield/Amherst/Northampton is . . . possible.

@mack505 Right, I mistyped "transit". He's hyped on Philly with all the subways and Amtrak trains to go anywhere, anytime. I'm like, sure, but most of the time you'll be doing college things and walking short distances on campus and, look, you can bus/train your way outta here when the time comes.

@jerzone I get it. Mine is up in Burlington, VT. Bus & train options exist to escape, but they are very limited.

@mack505 @jerzone Really? I didn’t know that!

But yeah… we HAVE transit up here.

Just. 😅
