I usually take Bay State Rd. to University Rd. I then ride up University road to the cross walk and use the street lights to get back into the bike lane. It keeps me out of the crazy Kenmore traffic and mostly out of the University Rd. mess. However I don't usually ride on those roads anymore. I now take the bike path home and I'm much happier as well as safer. Even though it takes me a couple of miles out of the way I don't have any traffic added stress.
