Each year SBTC members come out in force as volunteers
for Cascade Bicycle Club on Bike to Work Day.
|
This year is no exception and we have attempted to photograph
many of them on one member's ride into work.
|
This is to help celebrate Bike to Work Day as well as
to display in photos just how much fun cycling to work can be.
|
Right away you should note just how many wonderful trails
and bike lanes are available for cyclists to use.
|
You should also notice just how much fun it is to see so many
other smiling cyclists of all ages pass you by as you come to work.
|
Cycling in the Seattle area is rich in its offering
of outdoor art as well as scenic vistas for the eye to feast on.
|
Everywhere you turn there are sculptures, water fountains
and urban parks to stop and take a breath.
|
There are also many sidewalk cafes for getting a latte or scone
along the way, and spend a few moments speaking to others.
|
Along with the many bike trails and lanes entering the city
there are many bike trails along the waterfront and inter city core.
|
This makes it easy to enter the city on bike as well as
traverse to where you need to be to go to work or shop.
|
And, as you travel you realize the ease of not having to worry
about parking your car or getting caught in a traffic jam.
|
It is true that on Bike to Work Day there are a few more cyclists
coming in and out of the city, but cycle commuting in Seattle is common.
|
For North Westerners we have learned that cycling will get us
from here to there easily with a minimum of effort.
|
Bike commuting doesn't pollute and reduces the need for an expensive
gym to get in exercise that you can get naturally cycling to work.
|
Thanks Cascade for helping us to celebrate this fun way
to commute to work and enjoy our community.
