I’m not sure where you work, but if you have to bike on Middlesex Turnpike to get to work it might be a little difficult. If you have to do that, I’d definitely cross the road and stay biking on the side (possibly on the sidewalk) that has Barnes and Noble if you’re heading towards an office on Middlesex Turnpike, Bedford, Woburn, or Lexington.

If you have to bike the other way past Mary Cummings park, you’d need to bike up a decent hill on the way there if you’re heading towards work in Burlington somewhere on Mall Road or elsewhere. As long as you’re fit enough for that, the biking should be relatively easy going.

I’m sure only using a bike would be perfectly fine for the summer and most of the fall. If the weather is crappy, you could uber to work. I believe uber has become much more popular here over the past year.

Also, Mary Cummings park would be a great place to walk your dog since it has lots of nice walking trails
