I've tried to figure out another way, but haven't really found anything better. Beacon Street tends to have more red lights than Comm Ave, and doesn't have that convenient underpass to bypass Mass. Ave. I once tried <b>walking</b> my bike through the garden, but it wasn't worth it. Using the Paul Dudley White Bike Path along Storrow Drive can sometimes be good, but only if the weather is lousy or you're going during work hours (e.g. the ride home on Friday when sunset is relatively early), otherwise there are too many pedestrians. Under the right conditions, I do sometimes take it as far as the BU area, before switching to Comm. And for the morning inbound commute it's not bad. BTW, I'm not sure where you're coming from before Kneeland St, but if it's useful to you, the Common does *not* have a "no bikes" rule, and if you stick with the wider paths, it's not bad.
