Ride along with us on a bike ride we took last fall. We ride from Arlington to the Cambridge-Somerville loop as we take our kid to the Artesani playground and our bikes to the shop, all while taking in the scenery. Our ride was about 18 miles long and took roughly 2.5 hours.
We are very glad to have learned about the area bike paths because being able to safely bike around is really a game changer as far as being able to learn about and enjoy more parts of the Boston area without worrying about parking. Anyway, I hope you enjoy our little video. You can’t really capture the beauty, especially of the Charles River and the Boston skyline, but hopefully you get an idea. Do you have a secret bike route? Please share it below and we might use it for our next video.
P.S. there are short segments where I muted our chatter and/or singing so no need to adjust your audio.
