Bike the Link light rail 2 Line from Seattle to Redmond in my newest video! I visit current and future stations and show some artwork on the way. Enjoy!

I didn’t realize it was National Train Day, but it was a great day for a Cascade Bicycle Club group ride to visit every light rail station on Sound Transit’s 2 Line now that it’s in operation! We were even able to use a couple of recently opened bike connections, too

6/6 Final Silver Line stations
-I found bike-friendly access to Dulles Airport Station (after surviving Old Ox Rd's 45 mph traffic gauntlet): cut thru Garage 1, use elevators
-Loudoun Gateway Station: parking garage, station, nothing more
-Ashburn station means I made it!

5/6 My Silver Line bike adventure headed into Phase 2 stations
-Herndon Station, upgraded from a bus park & ride
-seems so recent that there was barely anything here
-Innovation Center, surrounded by new housing & offices
-this is a paved sidepath, well, under all of the debris

-strange multi-sided tv displays outside Wiehle-Reston East

-Reston Town Center surprisingly does not connect well to nearby major trail @WODTrail

2/6 My Silver Line adventure took me into Tysons
-Tysons station: in the middle of shiny skyscrapers popping up everywhere
-Greensboro station has some nice murals nearby, but it is sandwiched between like 1,000 lanes (slight hyperbole) of noisy & speeding traffic (truth)
