A person on a bike rides along a single-track dirt path through some mown grass through a forest. The trail runs between two rows of utility poles and wires that stretch towards a substation on the horizon.

A map of the Independence Greenway, which currently exists in two sections in the town of Peabody: the western section extends from the down's western boundary to a park near Interstate 95. The eastern section extends from just east of I-95 to Route 128. A planned extension, shown as a green-dashed line on the map, would extend the eastern portion a little over a mile into the town's center. Another future project, shown as a red-dashed line, would connect the eastern and western segments under an underpass of Interstate 95, and also connect to the Danvers Rail Trail, which extends northward through the town of Danvers.

Behind them is a row of more bikes parked in a Bluebikes station.
