Alki Bike and Board

Last miles car free options are needed. It is hard to say what part of Snohomish county these drivers came from, but if average statistics are in play most have driven from an area within 7 miles. How many might live near the Interurban trail I don't know. I did see a lot of walkers along 44th.

I have been wanting to go there. I have heard about this through YouTube. I have ridden in Utretch, Eindhoven and Groningen so a fair comparison might be in order. Any improvement in North America towards a Dutch design is appreciated.

Another restoration of a classic 1963 Schwinn Paramount. Not all original parts but from the same era .

Daily rider cyclists in West Seattle need to assert themselves to improve to or match the comfort of riding in other parts of Seattle. One way is to add your input at West Seattle Bike Connections meetings on the 1st Tuesdays of the month, usually held at the Neighborhood House in High Point. 6:30

It is one week this Saturday since the murder of our Surly Bike brethren Alex Pretti. We will be riding in solidarity with Alex and the many victims of the ICE chaos this Saturday. This is a take the lane ride to show solidarity and honor those who try harder.

Oh Oh, looks like we have a multi modal transportation race. It's Wilson against Wilson. @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social @gordonofseattle.bsky.social

Seems like we live in a place where water transportation would work. Mosquito Fleet?

Does not take much to define them though.

Despite the bravado of the American image, I doubt you will ever see a large percentage of population following the lead of our Dutch friends. In what world is the Big Truck bravado more greater than this?

I rode to Utretch from Frankfurt in February a couple years ago. It was not like this. I did ride from Hamburg to Groningen in the snow a few years back.

This is a great time to have your favorite bicycle detailed tuned. It will come back like new. $300 labor.

Keep working towards your goals. The Seattle waterfront had a double Decker highway with a stroad underneath. Now we have this:

What a nice day and view through the city. I like that there are very few cars.

Love that spot!

The Cascade Bicycle Club goes from school to school to teach bicycle riding skills. They visit a lot of schools so I guess they are getting a head start. @cascadebicycleclub.bsky.social

Cascade Bicycle Club is at Sanislo elementary! Get ready to ride!

Used and refurbished bikes ready for spring riding. Some real classics in the house. Lots of kids.

We are interested and tern is too. The timing is important. Maybe this spring.

Some spring like weather coming to Seattle in January. Rode into work today sans winter wear or rain jacket. (It's in my pannier). Looking at you Tuesday.

The Netherlanders are some of the healthiest in the world. Because of their bicycle culture that started in the early 70's the life expectancy has risen to over 82 YOA rising to 92 for children born this year. It's the Lifestyle.

Once again oil dependency has raised it's ugly head with an attack on a sovereign country for their resources. Even when the combination of renewable energy, electric modal transportation and yes bicycle use has caused an oil glut and afalling prices per barrel.

That is a problem we would like to address. Stemming from using 44th SW as a traffic light free alternative to California Ave to cut through Lander (during school arrival at Lafayette) and crossing to Walnut to get to the East side access to Admiral East bound. A partial closure of Lander?

But is there a more efficient way to end right turn on red and both right and left turns on active crosswalks. From a business perspective all walks tend to increase foot traffic as well. At least that has been evident in the Alaska Junction. Thanks for your response though.

We need the Mayor's support in the West Seattle's Admiral Junction to get an all walk intersection that SDOT has denied in favor of a all car intersection.

That should be easier than being stuck in traffic. On the other hand air travel less than 1,000 kilometers should be replaced by rail. That should be easier than stuck in security.

It was a nice day at the end of the year. A couple more to come.

Kona Dew Sz. Med E Bike conversion with 750 watt Bafang mid drive motor and 1100 watt hour battery. Rack Time carriers front and rear with quick connect baskets for cargo and shopping. Also equipped with Planet Bike aluminum fenders for Rainey Seattle. $2499

Incentivicing car free short commutes would do more to make auto use more efficient. WIN-WIN!
