I live on Commonwealth Ave (think Boston University). A friend of mine is going to be at Tufts this weekend and I wanted to bike out there. Does anyone have some simple (i.e. I won't need to carry a map) directions from B.U. to Davis Square? I would really appreciate it.

(I know I can take the T, but I'd rather not.)

As the original responder, I take exception that it doubles the length of the trip. It depends on where on Comm. Ave. the original poster lives. At very worst my directions are about 1.5 times as long as the JFK directions (I just checked a map to make sure)

If the original poster lives closer to the BU East T-stop, though, the Mass. Ave. bridge is actually a little bit shorter of a trip. Remember, Mass. Ave. and Comm. Ave. intersect, and not too far from BU.

"doubles" was exaggerating, but think of it this way: from BU to Davis you must go North and West. Your instructions are saying to start out by going Southeast. And when you do get to the Mass Ave bridge, it doesn't go very directly to Davis either. Crossing the BU Bridge and taking the bike path along the river heads in a perfectly straight line toward Davis.

I didn't mean any offense, though. I just think your directions are crazy :)
