By Nick Hilden

2. music, the Space Needle, and Grey’s Anatomy, but not everyone is aware of its enthusiastic
3. cycling scene. ___ fact, during the 1890s, Seattle was among the first cities ___ the United
4. States to construct dedicated bicycling infrastructure, laying out some 25 miles of pedal-friendly
5. paths, and it has developed a thriving bike culture ever since.
6. Today, Seattle is home to a slew of stunning, frequently well-protected bike routes with
7. no shortage of must-stops along the way. While its hilly terrain once meant it was better suited

9. matter where in the city your wheels roam, you’ll encounter plenty of good reasons to stop, sip,
10. snack, and take in the scenery.
11. “The best bike routes in the city are the Burke-Gilman Trail and maybe the Waterfront,”

13. 20 miles from the Puget Sound beaches of Golden Gardens Park east to the shores of Lake
14. Washington, then north along the water to the wineries of Woodinville.
15. Seattle is a city that is best seen via bicycle, allowing you to explore its various
