You kick off at 199 State Street, the harbor breeze taking the edge off summer heat and pushing the city’s angles into focus. The scooter hums beneath you and the waterfront slides by—Long Wharf’s pilings, the Greenway’s planted beds, and the brick-lined alleys of the North End that still bear the city’s colonial footprints.
