Culs-de-sac by definition lead to nowhere. It can be pleasant to take a neighborhood stroll in one them, but if you want to actually get from one side of town to the other, you’re going to need to get on a main road. And in Holden, like many towns in North America (but not Cambridge) doesn’t really have provisions for bicycles on its arterials.

Mass Ave is probably one of the principal routes through Cambridge, and has protected bike lanes on good chunks of it. Memorial Dr is another and the river bike paths runs parallel. And once you arrive at your destination, there is actually bike parking.
