This is a great bike trip. I live right in Davis Square and since discovering this bike path, I'll be doing the 22 miles up and back every day. Nothing negative to say about this bike path. It's scenic, it's large enough be able to pass slow people, and aside from on occasional walking group that is five people straight across, it's easy sailing.
