Greetings from Seattle! I'll post elsewhere some updates on how things are going on here, but I did finish a bike video that was filmed in the DC area last time I was in town (November 2019).

I...

Earlier this week, I was interviewed for a news segment regarding bicycle riders and the light rail in Seattle. Sound Transit (aka our WMATA) is working on a second line to the light rail that will...

Ooof, that cuts deep

I made an updated version of my "Bike the Metro: Silver Line Extension" video from 2015 using the footage I gathered while biking the route this past spring. I threw in some comparison shots to show...

Make sure you list the time zone, too, for those of us abroad, e.g. 11:59:59.9 EST is 8:59:59.9 PST for me in Seattle.

I'll see if I can fit her into my carry-on luggage :D

Hi y'all, it's been over 6 months since I was last in town, so it's time for another visit!

I will be flying back to the DC area for a week-long visit with family and friends from the early...

This past Saturday, I was able to give yet another DC-area bicycle friend a nice bike tour of the Seattle area. This time, it was scoot who joined me for a ride through the rain starting in Bellevue...

As per usual, it took a couple of weeks, but I managed to finish my video for the spring 2019 edition of Midnight Saddles.

I had a hard time dealing with the darkness (it was night, so it was...

I found something else that might be a problem. Notice where the police (peace officer) is parked in this screenshot (1:53 in the video)?

Hey, at least they put some orange cones out!

History tidbit: the building was designed by architect Nathan Wyeth who also designed the West Wing of the White House. It later became the Mexican Cultural Institute.

Thanks, Bob (scoot), for joining me yesterday! Here are some pics from the ride:

Before I fly out on Saturday afternoon to go home, I want to check out one of my favorite events from when I lived here: the free open embassy tour (more information on this site on Cultural Tourism...

I designate this new coffee shop: Café Ciclisto del Steveo

I had the cafe mocha leche. The barista was snarky, but the coffee did its job to wake me up, and the pastries were good (hmm, did I eat...

Well, since I'm in town for this week, it's only fitting that I'd have a Missed connection while here!

Here's the site where it happened: https://goo.gl/maps/irBxE6HQkoEd3SQ69

And here's the...

I had a thoroughly good (and sometimes wet) time! It was really nice to enjoy one of my favorite things to do when I lived here which was to bike around DC at night. The city has a different vibe at...

Haha, I would love to, but it’s not necessarily kosher to wear one for non-official Cascade rides. You’ll have to come out on one of my rides in Seattle to see me wear it!

No worries, I’ll be in town until the 4th. See ya when you get here!

What Karen means to say is that she's definitely going to be there. We are, by sheer coincidence, flying on the exact same red-eye flight from Seattle to Dulles Friday night/Saturday morning!

This was my first venture into tactical urbanism, so I kept it limited to non-destructive (no damage to pavement, no graffiti needing clean-up, etc.). But I do like the ideas on how to take it a bit...

I will be there! I'm flying in on a red-eye from Seattle Friday night (I arrive in town around sunrise on Saturday), but I will make sure my bike is up to snuff to do some riding.

I miss riding...

In what is now the farthest trip I've made on my bike from my apartment in the Seattle area, I rode to the foothills of Mount Rainier a couple of weeks ago on the first imperial century I've done...

Yes, you need to schedule one, and yes, I would love to join that Saturday night :cool:

Hi y'all, I'm coming back for a weeklong visit to the DC area! I'll be in town from Saturday, April 27 (after taking a red-eye, zzzz) through Saturday, May 4, and while I will spend a lot of time...

Part 3: Deployment and Destruction

After wrapping them up to make sure the mulch/soil didn’t spill out en route, I put them on my bike trailer and under cover of darkness headed to the...
