Did the full test ride to and from BIDMC streetless-ish.
Inbound Cedar and Oxford are very easy, the newish cut-thru in Harvard Square is awesome, the quiet streets between BU and Longwood are nice enough, and cutting through the park including the cyclocross up the Short Street Steps (easy with my frankndale, would be tough with a Bluebike) to Winsor School which avoids the chaos that is Longwood.
Outbound works well too, but since Cedar is one-way found a cut-thru at Starbucks to Elm then off at Hancock with it’s legal salmon run to Lexington Park in Somerville.
Another snap of the gorgeous former front doors:
