Local Area Hospitals:
* 1 miles from Mount Auburn Hospital * Massachusetts General Hospital * 2 miles from Franciscan Children's Hospital * McLean Hospital * 3 miles from Dana Farber Cancer Institute * Arnold Arboretum This 125-year-old Boston city park and Harvard research center was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and has a wonderful set of roads which are mostly closed to motorized traffic. While they were once closed to bicycles, that is no longer true. Peters Hill, on which you now have to walk the last 200 feet to the summit, provides the best grounded view of Boston from within its boundaries. The Arboretum is both part of the Emerald Necklace and a connector to other Boston bikeways, such as Stony Brook Reservation. While this is a Joni-Mitchell-esque "tree museum", it's free and not "a dollar-and-a-half", and it's nice to be able to read the tags and find out just what kind of tree you are riding past. * 3 miles from McLean Hospital * 4 miles from Beth Israel Hospital * Mount Auburn Hospital * 4 miles from Brigham and Women's Hospital * St. Elizabeth Hospital * 4 miles from Massachusetts General Hospital * Beth Israel Hospital * Children's Hospital * Forest Hills Cemetery Unlike the more famous local garden cemetery, Cambridge's Mt.

During daylight hours, you can usually exit at Walk Hill St. as well as the main Morton St. entrance. Call (617) 542-2453. * Brigham and Women's Hospital * Dana Farber Cancer Institute

* Massachusetts General Hospital * McLean Hospital * Arnold Arboretum This 125-year-old Boston city park and Harvard research center was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and has a wonderful set of roads which are mostly closed to motorized traffic. While they were once closed to bicycles, that is no longer true. Peters Hill, on which you now have to walk the last 200 feet to the summit, provides the best grounded view of Boston from within its boundaries. The Arboretum is both part of the Emerald Necklace and a connector to other Boston bikeways, such as Stony Brook Reservation. While this is a Joni-Mitchell-esque "tree museum", it's free and not "a dollar-and-a-half", and it's nice to be able to read the tags and find out just what kind of tree you are riding past. * Mount Auburn Hospital * St. Elizabeth Hospital * Beth Israel Hospital * Children's Hospital * Forest Hills Cemetery Unlike the more famous local garden cemetery, Cambridge's Mt. Auburn, Forest Hills Cemetery in Boston allows bicyclists to ride through. It is well-landscaped and has many wide roads. During daylight hours, you can usually exit at Walk Hill St. as well as the main Morton St. entrance. Call (617) 542-2453. * Brigham and Women's Hospital * Dana Farber Cancer Institute

* Paul Dudley White Charles River Bikepaths This 14-mile loop follows both banks of the Charles River from the Museum of Science in Boston to Watertown Square, in--surprise!--Watertown. The quality varies from 12 feet wide with center stripes to 4 feet wide with 6-inch drops at the edges. In some places it is barely wide enough for one bicycle to pass another safely; in others, there are separate bicycle and pedestrian paths. Despite the fact that Federal funds paid for the completion of this bikepath, it remains a constant battle to preserve cyclists' rights to use it in its entirety. The path can be entered at any point on the Cambridge and Watertown sides, from all but the Longfellow and B.U. bridges on the Boston side, and from the footbridges over Storrow Drive. The Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) (20 Somerset St., Boston, MA 02108) manages and maintains this path. Charles River Recreation. The MDC intends to extend the path upstream through its Upper Charles Reservation, which runs from Watertown to South Natick. An upstream extension to Bridge St. in Watertown on both sides of the river was completed in 1997, and a further extension almost to Moody St. on the south side of the river was completed by early 1998. The Cambridge side of the path is plowed when it snows. * Cambridge Kayak Company Sea kayaking trips and instruction. 1-800-736-0919 * Charles River Canoe and Kayak Center: Trips near Routes 128 and 30 Newton, and Soldier's Field Road.
