I was a great weekend to
Bike around Seattle ☀️. Yes, I complained a lot, but credit where it’s due: most bike lanes were freshly swept. Here’s a quick video from downtown and Capitol Hill.

Good news: The leaves on the NE 65th St bike lanes were swept.
Bad news: I passed by the same block four times today, and each time, a different vehicle was blocking the bike lane.

These days, the usable width of a bike lane feels like 10 inches.

It was really wet tonight… even by Seattle standards…

Hard to say what’s worse on NE 65th st bike lane: the seasonal leaf pileup or the perennial car takeover...
(You can see a car parked in the bike lane in both directions in the first picture)

Did I mention a block of bike lane reopened on Eastlake Ave E, just before the University Bridge? Oh never mind it’s just for drivers who don’t have time to park in the free parking garage offered by this business.

In Seattle, November marks the start of ‘wet leaves season’ on our bike lanes. A couple of examples on the way to Capitol Hill.

New rubber-protected bike lane on NE Campus Parkway. Nice improvement compared to before (see “before” video in the quoted thread)

The best time to cross the Fremont Bridge by bike is right after a bridge opening.

NE 65th St’s bike lane really needs improvements. It connects to the light rail and links both sides of an elementary and high school attendance area divided by I-5, but it’s constantly blocked by drivers.

First time biking through Mountlake Terrace town center. Nice neighborhood, though the door-zone bike lane is not ideal…

First time taking our HSD on the light rail. It worked, but it’s a bit bulky, good thing the train wasn’t busy.
It was a great way to speed up a 10-mile trip north.

Missed the 5000-mile photo, but 5005 still feels like a milestone.
That’s 5005 miles since I got the bike back in January 2023.
It might not sound like much over 33 months compared to driving, but it covers nearly all my city trips, about 5 miles a day, even though I work from home 99% of the time.

Nice to see a new school street here. That reminds me that I really need to send a message to the principal of my kid’s school to suggest one.

Mini rainbow over Capitol Hill tonight; interesting, because it wasn’t even raining anywhere.

The best part of commuting from the Eastside is returning to Seattle by crossing the longest floating bridge in the world, with Lake Washington below and the city in the background. (Video speed: 4×, showing only part of the bridge crossing.)

When I tried to grab a coffee at Lake City’s only coffee shop open on Sunday, the mayor was holding a rally there, so I went for a walk instead and checked how things have been going under his leadership

U-District is really a nice place for street parties. The k-pop (demon hunter) dance party brought lot of families to the U District Station Park
