Biking Seattle

Circling the fountain at Seattle Center. It’s like a pitched velodrome, and after 2 laps a guy yelled, “That was awesome! I should have brought my bike!” I always wanted to do this. #seattlecenter #bikeseattle #rideyourbike #bikeeverywhere (at Space Needle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRdI_Glhg-v/?utm_medium=tumblr

Construction signs are confusing, as always, with arrows pointing toward each other. I guess pedestrians are supposed to go through the barrier and out into the road. #yourtaxdollarsatwork #yourtaxdollarspayforthis #bikeseattle (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQH3PDth9G8/?utm_medium=tumblr

I saw this along my bike ride to work. Is this stripped-down kiddie bike a piece of guerrilla art, or the remaining evidence of bike theft? I see plenty of trash along the trail, but nothing so colorful, or positioned as if it was meant to be seen. #bikeseattle #rideyourbike #heythatsmybike (at BNSF Interbay - Balmer Yard) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM5_U5VBTGN/?igshid=37gf0zl2s513

On some days, I am reminded of why I live in Seattle. Then there’s the other 95% of the time. #bikeseattle (at Magnolia, Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMqJR9uhTg8/?igshid=52x8oa03rawb

Sure I will, as soon as vehicle owners are required to push their cars in the garage, or the bike racks are moved out of the back corner of the garage and closer to the entrance. #bikeeverywhere #bikeeveryday #rideyourbike (at Pioneer Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMNRb-xhLFT/?igshid=1w93k7hd0rrwg

Crossing the Duwamish River on the lower span on today’s ride, with Mt Rainier off in the distance. The failing West Seattle Bridge was overhead so I didn’t stay long to admire the view. #bikeseattle #bikeeverywhere #rideyourbike (at West Seattle Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJKXHSFhF9O/?igshid=1k7h3ukmcx77w

So strange to see the gates closed with a college football game being played inside, before an empty stadium. Beautiful day for a game, and beautiful day for fans like me to go on a bike ride. #huskystadium100 #bikeseattle (at University of Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIb9OPPhnSd/?igshid=1cv6465mhdvp5

I think I was supposed to bike 24 miles today! It looks like a lot of others will be out for World Diabetes Day today. #jdrf #jdrfmyride #wdd #jdrfglobalchallenge #t1dlookslikeme (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHlXYkQB6bC/?igshid=t4qy1hkquv56

Waiting in the mist for the Bremerton ferry to take me back to Seattle. I rolled through 40 foggy miles in Kitsap County #jdrfmyride #t1dlookslikeme #bikeface #jdrfnorthwest (at Bremerton-Seattle Ferry) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF5kmWCBgoY/?igshid=ynkzvr1u3242
