Hi Justin – thanks so much for the great route! It looks way better than the one I took this morning (via L St. to Mass Ave – with a minor detour that owes more to my directional sense than the route I’d planned to take!
) and much more bike-friendly (although even at rush hour, the cars seemed pretty chill today – I think I got lucky). I’m much more comfortable when bike lanes or cycle tracks are involved, so I think this is a great option!
I’m super excited to take this home tonight. Thanks again for your help!
