It was gorgeous outside at the first Bicycle Weekend of the year on Lake Washington Blvd in #Seattle today! Lots of people were out enjoying the sunshine both on and off the road. This is a low cost kind of recreation that is beneficial to mental & physical health #SEAbikes #BikeTooter #LakeWaBlvd #bikePNW

2/2 Random sights on my filming #SEAbikes ride
-@ symbol next to pedestrian bridge over SR-99 in South Park
-North Winds Weir is at high tide
-north end of Green River Trail, no word on the status of the Green River Trail North Extension project that would connect the Duwamish & Green River Trails
#Seattle #BikeTooter #bikePNW

1/2 I did some filming for my next video on quite a summery spring day #SEAbikes
-new bike counter on Spokane St. Bridge (it’s working btw, my phone couldn’t pick up the screen)
-highway-style crash barrier on West Marginal Way, good for 40+ mph speeding traffic
-natural bend in the Duwamish River
-hope this freeway goes away in South Park
#Seattle #BikeTooter #bikePNW

3/3 Then, I rode south into South Park until going home to Beacon Hill #SEAbikes
-double-leaf swing bridge selfie
-empty container ship being tugged through the Duwamish Waterway
-SDOT painted a bunch of these at industrial driveway crossings on Duwamish Trail

1/3 I went to check out bike access at the soon-to-open Elliott Way at Seattle's Waterfront #SEAbikes
-heading south on Elliott Ave, there will be a signalized diagonal bike lane crossing at Bell St from left to right side of the street

Having recovered from my 2nd bout with #COVID19 I rode my acoustic bike to my bike shop in #Tukwila to drop it off for maintenance. Rain wasn’t an issue
-Rocking my @EastrailP hat (thanks @bestsidecycling !)
-blossoms & trail
-Tukwila Pedestrian Bridge needs a wash
-hazelnut bloom city logo (Tukwila means “hazelnut” in Chinook jargon)
#SEAbikes #bikePNW #BikeTooter

3/3 Lastly, I checked the Melrose Promenade project that’s close to completion on Capitol Hill #SEAbikes
-speed humps are pretty great
-pedestrian upgrades at Denny include a shorter crossing & flatter curb ramps
-protected intersection at Pine looks good
-this section isn’t pleasant, as there were lots of parking antics
#Seattle #BikeTooter #bikePNW

2/3 Enjoying some spring flowers around Seattle on my #SEAbikes commute
-this tree gets partial credit for its bloom effort
-cherry blossoms
-star magnolia
-daffodils

1/3 I’m feeling better, so I visited not 1 but 2 parks new to me on my #SEAbikes commute
-Fritz Hedges Waterway Park is really nice, I love the viewpoint at the end of the pier
-Astrid’s Park (E Edgar St Shoreline) is a hidden gem along Portage Bay

I was interviewed yesterday by KIRO7 Seattle re: my bike lane sign experiment the other week at Pike & Boren on Capitol Hill. I'm glad they mentioned how the City ignores ecoblocks & removes crosswalks

My segment is at 15:10 in the recorded livestream: https://www.kiro7.com/news/past-newscast/march-27-2023-kiro-7-news-11-pm/1fd28dd1-8a91-465d-a8f8-eafab24d7ebf/

#SEAbikes #BikeTooter #bikePNW #Seattle #TacticalUrbanism @carbikelanesea

Headed off to Vancouver BC for a couple of days taking my bike on @Amtrak_Cascades . It’s my first trip to British Columbia.

See ya later, Seattle! #SEAbikes #bikePNW #BikeTooter

(P.S. I’ll have to add pics later, as photo uploads on Mastodon are just not working for me right now)

Relive this year’s @CascadeBicycleClub Chilly Hilly which happened on my birthday in my video of the event. You may even spot familiar faces throughout the video

Enjoy! #SEAbikes #bikePNW #BikeTooter #BainbridgeIsland #Seattle
