Kenmore Sq to Norwood-why?
Cambridge to where?

Ahhh, the memories.......
Kenmore Sq to Norwood is a nearly perfect commute IMHO:

-good distance for a daily commute (14 miles one way)
-nice terrain and neighborhoods
-reverse commute direction
-plenty of different alternative routes with relatively low traffic volumes
-bike paths available for the congested urban portion of the routes
-convenient commuter rail stations to take the bike home and avoid the evening commute
-populous area with easily available cabs in disaster situations (e.g. my pedal once fell off)
-good restaurants to pick up food to go
-plenty of Dunkin Donuts to make bathroom stops
-at least three bike shops along the way
-routes can be extended to include such bicycling paradises as Dover, Westwood, Sherborn
-I have a great job there

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink; say no more, say no more.
