You've heard of Boston. But across the river is Cambridge and Somerville, Boston's "Left Bank." Of course that name references Paris' Left Bank or Rive Gauche which refers to the southern bank of the Seine. But more importantly the Left Bank of Paris was the Paris of artists, writers, philosophers, and more. Similarly, there is a high number of artists and writers in Cambridge and Somerville. This route will be a tour of the artistic side of the city.

This bike route along the Charles River in Cambridge and Boston features 15 scenic miles and stops at our favorite bakery, a historic cemetery with a tower affording the best view of Boston, a river bike path, the USS Constitution, playgrounds galore, picnicking opportunities and our favorite places to grab a beer and a bite to eat.
