[Bike] For completeness...

narya and I rode out on the Minuteman to just shy of Lexington Center. There we turned right on Woburn Street, which in that shocking Massachusetts way, morphs into Lexington Street when you get to Woburn. Rode that to Arlington Street, turned right and came down by Horn Pond, magically got from there to Winchester Center, then came down 38, Grove Street, and Boston Ave back to Somerville.
This was a pretty nice just-under-20-mile ride. There was just one hill on Woburn Street, and that of the down-then-up variety (hint: if you pick up speed on the downhill, then momentum largely carries you uphill without much work). Lexington Street was for the most part generously wide, and since we were going perpendicular to rush hour on back roads, traffic wasn't that big a deal.
