It has a dedicated bike lane. It is a congested urban road so I’d be fine riding it for commuting or getting to a particular destination. As with most roads, especially one like Mass ave with lots of parked cars and intersections, keep your head on a swivel and dont go too fast that ya can’t react quickly enough to those pesky drivers who don’t look before pulling onto the road.
