Gorgeous! As a current resident of Bremerton I sure do miss living in Seattle! I used to ride my bike from Ballard to the Japanese Garden, then drop down to the shore of Lake Washington and pedal to the 520, hitting up all the shoreline parks on the way and back. Seattle rocks for cycling, I had so much fun figuring out new loops for weekend coffee tours and so forth.
One of my favs was Ballard to the Ballard Locks, up to Discovery park, drop down Magnolia Blvd which had killer views of the Sound, West Seattle and Rainer (everything really plus it's miles long descent), hook onto the Elliot Bay Trail up to Second Ave to Pioneer Square, stop at some awesome coffee shop (can't remember names atm, stoned),
ascend China Town/International District into Central District then onto the excellent Broadway bike lanes into Capitol fucking Hill (my love, but my heart is in frelard) all the way down to that tea shop where
Broadway forks and have tea then drop the steep ass hill to the bridge overlooking Lake Union and Fremont/Wallingford or stay right on that cool winding road to Eastlake that goes past the BMX park under I-5 and the either route goes around the lake on the way to Fremont now it's time for beers at the Fremont Brewery! Yes now hit like 4 or 5 breweries and get home drunk! Fuck I miss those days goddamn I had so much fun in Seattle!
