Share Family Friendly Bike Routes

The trick to riding with a bike trailer is to find the road not taken. When we first moved to Cambridge, we naively rode down Mass Ave to get to Harvard Square and along Walden to get to Fresh Pond. Silly geese!

Family Friendly route to Fresh Pond - from Porter or Davis Square -

I have now discovered a short cut at the end of Cogswell Ave that takes you to the tennis courts behind Peabody school. From there you can ride under the railroad tracks, through Walden apartment parking lot to Danehy Park. Fresh Pond is just the other side of Danehy park.

Family Friendly route to Harvard Square - from Porter or Davis Square -

At the end of Cogswell Ave there is a short cut to McMath Park and the tennis courts behind Peabody school. Take the underpass under the railroad tracks through Walden apartment parking lot and jog left up Sherman til you see St Peters Field. Ride through St Peters ball park to Field St. Cross over Field street to Hazel - you'll see it just up a bit to your right as you come out of the park. Hazel street turns into Fayerweather. Fayerweather is a beautiful quiet street that takes you all the way down to Brattle Street. At the bottom of Fayerweather, turn left on Brattle til you get to Harvard Square.
