MCT Bike Trails and Public Transportation
Get outsite and enjoy the beautiful weather on the Madison County Transit bike trails! Edwardsville and Glen Carbon have some of the most elaborate bike trail networks in Illinois. In our Eddy Scavenger Hunt research we found out that the bike trails actually used to be train railways. Interesting stuff!
