These adventures made much easier, faster, and more amazing by ferries and buses and hiker-biker access to state park campgrounds. More of all of these things, please!

Seattle's new waterfront park and trail is far from perfect, but it's so much better than having an elevated highway running through it.

@qagggy.bsky.social graciously organized a tour of the new features.

Your eyes are not deceiving you. While I stripped everything I didn’t need off my bike, this father carried a whole extra little human, in a trailer, up to Hurricane Ridge. And I got this shot because he passed me on the climb (multiple times due to rest stops). Humans are wild.

I don't know which was more difficult, the Ride the Hurricane or the Seattle to Portland (STP) ride. Though both rewarding.

Big thanks to everyone who joined us to celebrate the opening of the new Alaskan Way bike lane, connecting the Waterfront to the Elliott Bay Trail!

This is a huge step toward a seamless, protected route from Alki to Magnolia.

Gratitude to all the advocates who helped make this vision real.

Riding along Hogarth Av

As excited as I am with this weeks cycling infrastructure win, I’m riding past these two ladies who clearly want to ride beside each other to have a conversation but can’t.

One is on the sidewalk, one in the middle of the road.

How do fix the unfixable? #Equity

Yesterday was a new bike day for me! I'll be calling this Colonel Mustard, it's a fun All-City Super Professional set up as a single speed, some wider tires, and with a front basket. It'll be a great fair weather commuter bike.

(Yes it's my second Super Pro, it's a great bike!)

Ride the Hurricane Sunday, August 3rd, 2025

Life is tough. So I decided .. as I think I have some sort of brain damage .. to Ride The Hurricane. Something like 5240ft (~1600 meters) in 20 miles

Though it is going to be "wee! wee! wee!" all the way down!

"If you really care about cyclist safety, the best move is advocating for protected bike lanes, not policing gear. Let’s focus on preventing crashes, not just surviving them."

A helmet really isn't going to save you in a car/cyclist accident - they help protect you from every other type of incident

When promoting their products is more important than cycle parking like The Range has done here, then I won't bother using them any more. If you refuse or choose customers who cycle aren't important, then they don't deserve our custom. the2wheeledwolf.blogspot.com/2015/12/are-...

So long trusty steed. You’ve been brilliant, and the whole experience of cycling in The Netherlands has been awesome. Sad I can’t so easily reproduce it back in London!
