While waiting for SDOT to get back to us on our April 28 (!) action requests for biking to the bridges, we did some of it ourselves, with folks from Highland Park Action Committee and the West Duwamish Greenbelt Trails Group.

Bike Biz – Garden Cycles
I met West Seattleite Steve Richmond, owner of Garden Cycles, on the Alki Trail this morning. He was headed to a landscape restoration job with his trailer full of tools. We crossed paths again this evening pedaling home from our work places. Using bikes for work fits his philosophy and methods. Not all of the employees travel by bike, but they have three trailer outfits, and offer incentives for “green commutes”. If you want to remove invasive plants and stabilize and restore slopes with native planting, that’s their specialty. Un-driving video featuring Steve here. Don Brubeck

Some of the more enjoyable parts of riding a bike from West Seattle is going over the bridge and seeing Mount Rainier…
…and seeing the downtown skyline (and other people riding bikes of course)…
…and then seeing more mountains – the Olympics!
Hope you are all enjoying this weather. Be safe out there, and hope to see lots of people riding bikes this month!
