Anobody can point me to where exactly the Minuteman bike path starts at Davis going to Alewife?

Actually, lately I've been riding Mass Ave west out to Lexington and beyond. Once you get past rt 16, Mass Ave becomes a pretty low-stress street to bike on (this might just seem that way to me because my daily commute takes me through Mass Ave to Central and a few side streets throughout cambridge)

But, to get to Alewife from Davis via bike, you have to go on a couple narrow streets where drivers are a bit reckless, you have to cross route 2, then you have to ride throguh the paved wonderland behind Alewife--none of it fun.

The minuteman trail from Alewife to Arlington Center is also a bit chopped up in a couple places...(and Spy Pond is stinky! And this is from someone who gets nostalgic about the was swamps and farms smell).

Both ways are certainly good, so you should ride em both a couple times and decide for yourself which you like best. I'm just throwing out options :)

Great, thanks a lot!

Ouch, your daily commute doesn't sound too appealing to me :-( Used to live in California -- biker-rollerblader friendly land -- and never got used to Boston biking... Me -- taking the T... You -- stay safe!
