    What is your question? huh?
    Anyway, If you want to mtb in the boston area probably your best bet is
    the middlesex fells.
    Just biking in general you can tool around the esplanade or traverse the
    minuteman or some of the other nike paths. Plenty of riding
    opportunities in these parts.

    At this point it looks like my fix will be reduced to checking out some
    shops and/or manufacturers. I know Seven and IF are in the area but out
    of town and I'll be carless. Anything you'd recommend to a Beantown
    tourist visiting with his girlfriend?
    TIA.

    I've spent most of my money on mountain biking and windsurfing.
    The rest, I've just wasted.

    freedom trail http://www.thefreedomtrail.org/
    aquarium http://www.neaq.org
    canoe/kayak on charles http://www.ski-paddle.com/

    Must do: Great romantic Italian dinner in the North End. Pick one of
    the small restaurants (they only have 4 or 5 tables). Food rivals if
    not beats Little Italy.

    Little Italy, NYC? You gotta be kidding. Some of the worst Italian
    joints in the city. I can eat Chef Boyardee at home....

    ps: Ray's Pizza sucks too.

    She's a tall, toothy, Texan redhead. Pretty much the opposite.

    Meandered from Copley to the aquarium in the rain. By the time we
    arrived it was after 5, and they close at 6 on weekends. Oh well. Got
    to check out the sea lions out front, though, which was pretty sweet.
    Downtown Boston's nice. We went up to Harvard too. Everybody seems
    so... sane! They did a nice job of having chain restaurants and etc
    conform to the architecture of the area.
