  1. Why we can't have nice bike trails?

    Thanks to a coalition of Labor, Big Gravel, Railroads, and the Marine Business Coalition, a judge ruled last week that the Burke Gilman missing link couldn’t skip a long, expensive environmental review. We’ll be biking on poorly-marked sidewalks for the foreseeable future.

    Advocates should have anticipated the need to comply with SEPA

    Remember, this is just a delay, not cancellation of the Missing Link.

  5. Fresh off my ultimate pre-STP workout where I took it easy to keep my body ready, I’m looking back at the 1st time I rode the Seattle To Portland ride back in 2024. It was my 1st ever multi day ride, & I hope I can do it again this weekend.

  7. Finished off my weekly STP training rides with a 55 mile (89 km) counterclockwise loop around Lake Washington. Cascade’s Seattle To Portland is days away, and I’m ready for it!

  9. @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] A5a: I have three bikes—a road bike, a do-it-all bike, and an electric cargo bike with a child seat on the back. There's little overlap between them, and that's exactly how I want them.

    A5b: As a result, I can decide which bike to ride almost immediately. I take the e-bike whenever I need to haul my daughter, my road bike for a fitness or recreational ride, or otherwise, my do-it-all bike.

  11. @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] A3: I saw a similar question on Reddit a few days ago. The OP and most comments assumed cycling was a form of recreation/sport/commute., and the answers reflected that assumption. My answer would have been, and is here, that it would be an e-cargo bike with a rear child seat so I can use it for transporting my daughter as well as grocery shopping and other errands.

  13. Had a fun time taking people on a group ride from Lynnwood to Mukilteo and back, showing them some interesting and historical sites, and stopping for some treats at Little Prague Bakery on the way

  14. I always prefer individual racks like these over a corral. These ones are at the Akin building, Lake City, Seattle.

  15. New light: Ravemen FR300. I use Ravemen's AGM04 adapter to hang the light underneath my out-front mount. I tried the sandwich method but didn't like the bulk it created with my computer sitting on top of it.

  16. Seattle has lost its spring. We now switch from a long, cold winter to a hot summer at the drop of a hat.

  17. I’ve got my next group rides all set for June and July! I’m leading a pair of Seattle queer history rides, a bike tour around Mukilteo, and a ride along the historic route of the Seattle-Everett Interurban Railway. Check them out in my newest ride leader newsletter:

  18. I went on a bike ride after work to check out the new park space along the Seattle Waterfront including Myrtle Edwards Park & Centennial Park, and it was wonderful to see so many people out and about enjoying the great weather and World Cup vibes. I was a little upset that they butchered the rose garden, but I’m hopeful it will recover next year.

  19. @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] A1: Posting from Seattle, WA. I've travelled to a lot of countries but only cycled in three—Japan, Canada and the US.

  25. I received a response from King County Parks to my request for more information and to find a suitable detour regarding the upcoming East Lake Sammamish Trail closure from May thru late fall. Unfortunately, it’s not looking good.

    For context, this trail closure means that the only way one could bike between Issaquah and Redmond is around the west side of Lake Sammamish or climbing into the city of Sammamish for most of the year
