You guys aren't making this any easier :). We do bike, but also plan to take the ferry to both islands different days
If you're doing the islands, then you want
Cape Cod Camp and ResortTen minutes to the Island Queen to Oak Bluffs and a half hour (more or less, probably more) to the fast ferry to Nantucket.
Scusset is right on the Canal and the bike path goes for 10 miles alongside the canal. But because it's on the "mainland" side, things on the Cape (and therefore ferries to the islands) are harder to get to.
I'm basing this on summer traffic, which you may or may not encounter. When we first moved here, the place was abandoned after Labor Day. Lately it's been summer type traffic until Columbus Day. Most things are staying open until the end of October.
