The South Lake Loop is a popular route for recreational riders but it is also used by a lot of commuters. I used to use it every day when I worked at Boeing Renton. A few years ago, they built bike lanes on Logan Avenue and then some protected bike lanes along the South Boeing…
Biking on the Big Island in Hawaii
I always end up renting a car in Hawaii. I don’t like to but I feel like there is no other choice. Transit is limited – even on Oahu. I always dream about renting a bike instead of a car. Unfortunately, bikes are $25-$65 per day and it doesn’t come close to making sense if…
Waterfront Alaskan Way Speed Limit
In the 80’s when I was in high school, people would commonly use Alaskan way to get home from sporting events or music show. This was before cruise ships and before the tourists found us, so the waterfront was typically deserted after 7pm or so. We used it as an arterial and drove pretty fast….

Beacon Hill commute to Kent
In 2018 the last kid left for college and we decided to downsize and move to the city. My wife had been commuting for many years and the freeway from South King County to Seattle was not getting easier. In 2019, my Boeing job was moved from Renton to Kent which was really tough because…

Welcome to my new blog! My plan for this is to be focusing on my experiences while biking. Where I go and how I get there. I hear from a lot of people that are surprised that is possible to get around King County on safe bike lanes. Of course, there are many missing…
