Ha ha ha... Nothing!

Still, if you've got the time, you might want to take the MBTA out of the city and make some longer, less trafficed rides that way. I particularly like the ride from Newburyport to Glouster on 1A/133 and/or looping around Cape Ann. You could take the train to many points along the way to shorten that ride. Let's face it, it still has traffic and potholes that can swallow you and your bike if you drift into a moment of blissful biking sombulence.

If you are new to Boston, I can't recommend the Rubel Maps enough. They'll give you some great ideas and tips to spice up your riding. Also, just a heads up, the Minuteman trail has less interuptions and less bike, ped traffic between Lexington and Bedford. You won't be doing any races on it on a sunny, summer weekend, but still nice to be away from the Boston drivers.

Good luck!
