To the Reservoir

My 40 mile Saturday early-morning ride took me through light rain...

...on Boston's bike lanes all the way to the Chestnut Hill Reservoir, near Boston College.

The sky sure looked beautiful, between short bursts of rain...

...and I passed by the awesome Waterworks Museum, which seemed fitting, considering the wet weather.

The Citgo sign over Kenmore Square greeted me on the way home....

...and I rode by the brownstones of the Back Bay...

...and made a side trip through South Boston.

A very cool adventure for a Saturday morning.

Bike Lanes of Harvard Square

I love bike lanes! It goes beyond the merely practical. Yes, they make riding safer and easier -- that's reason enough to love them right there. But bike lanes also have a subtle, quiet grace about them.

Look at these photos I took of the bike lanes in Harvard Square...







It's as if Cambridge is saying: we make a little room for everyone.
