Seattle is a city best explored via bike

By Nick Hilden

Seattle is known for its lush natural landscapes, its coffee and food scene, its grunge music, the Space Needle, and Grey’s Anatomy, but not everyone is aware of its enthusiastic cycling scene.         fact, during the 1890s, Seattle was among the first cities        the United States to construct dedicated bicycling infrastructure, laying out some 25 miles of pedal-friendly paths, and it has developed a thriving bike culture ever since.

Today, Seattle is home to a slew of stunning, frequently well-protected bike routes with no shortage of must-stops along the way. While its hilly terrain once meant it was better suited to the most devoted of cyclists, e-bikes have made its steep inclines manageable for all. And no matter where in the city your wheels roam, you’ll encounter plenty of good reasons to stop, sip, snack, and take in the scenery.

“The best bike routes in the city are the Burke-Gilman Trail and maybe the Waterfront,” says Johnson. The Burke-Gilman is undoubtedly the most popular bike path in the city, running 20 miles from the Puget Sound beaches of Golden Gardens Park east to the shores of Lake Washington, then north along the water to the wineries of Woodinville.

Seattle is a city that is best seen via bicycle, allowing you to explore its various neighborhoods with ease, stopping to enjoy its many parks, cafes, breweries, and other offerings as you go. And cycling through the wider area around the city provides access to some of the most magnificent natural landscapes on Earth. For bike buffs, it doesn’t get any better.
