You didn't mention Union Bay Village, housing for new faculty members with families needing housing at the UW, situated next to the Union Bay Marsh. My family lived there twice, when my father first started teaching there in 1956 and later when we moved back to Seattle from Norway in 1964 One of our playgrounds was the marsh.

Wow! Great job with this one Bob! A definitely a Subscribe and Like! I was born and raised in the Ravenna area from the early 1950's to about the 1980's. Loved the loop you shared on this vlog. All very familiar to me! Loved the memories❤ l

Can you do Lake Forest Park trails and Interurban North?

Thanks! What’s the most scenic easy bike ride without too many on road lanes near Shoreline or Lake Forest Park?

Nice work...lots of stuff I did not know...thanks

Great video, thank you!

Thanks for the rail update fix! Especially seeing progress of DT Redmond. Google maps is not keeping up haha. Nice work! The GP12 footage is so nice.

Very much appreciated. Well done thank you. Very interesting. It helps when you have references to a map and locations here in there in your videos so that we can find what you’re talking about and like there ourselves.

What else you gonna do on a nice PNW day like that! Thanks for the ride!

I like to light rail ride 2.

Wow....I have a LOT of East side to catch-up on! Thanks and ride on Bob!

That Hendrix art is cool.

Try to stay in the bike lanes, and off of the pedestrians side walks.

Made it to the (He/Him), knew nothing interesting would follow.

Lol that narrow tunnel passage, actually has a sign there now. Thay says get off rhe bike and walk it.

Thank you for the e-bike comment. I “acoustic” commuted in Seattle for decades, but in retirement my bad back makes it impossible to get around under just human power. I’ve built an e-bike, using Grin tech that has allowed me to put 3,000 miles on my bike last year and only 350 on my car. Just like you can’t tell why someone uses the elevator instead of the stairs to go one floor, you can’t tell why someone “chooses” to use an e-bike.

can i just say you somewhat inspred me to go on bike rides? Actually one of the main inslirations i had to consifer learning hoe to ride and overall riding more I know this video is ancient but this is still interesting

So fun. Long commute too bad the train station in Redmond is not open yet.

Kudos for riding to a long ride.

What a beautiful route. I’ve done Flying Wheels twice now and I just don’t appreciate it enough when I’m riding. Thanks for capturing it on video. Also, I made the same wrong turn myself!

I like great jobs with your guy friends for trail miles for Seattle, Washington.

Hey Bob, thank you for sharing your epic ride, over 132 miles in a single ride WOW congrats! Regarding tired legs, some e-bikes have a pedal assist range of over 100 miles, even longer with a swappable battery in one’s backpack. Yet I only saw analog bikes in your video. Personally, I am a huge fan of micro mobility and personal electric vehicles. How do you feel about e-bikes? Thanks again.

Awesome video.

Love this!

The Marginal Way barrier was a great add. I always felt near death before crossing over the tracks at the light. Admittedly, my ego gets hit when I get burned by an E Bike, but the bigger point of contention is the E bike subsidy not extending to acoustic. Access should be incentivized for all bike types!

You were honked at on Lake Washington Blvd because you were riding slowly in the middle of the lane. Wear a helmet and ride like you mean it

There are two Interurban Trails…perhaps they should be renamed or designated differently. The one in the video and the one from Tukwila to Algona parallel to the railroad tracks.

Walked and road almost all of that already.

Hey ! Thank you for such amazing videos! I'm a beginner and just bought my first bike recently. I was trying to discover something on CZcams, so I can educate myself more on the bikes routes and infrastructure. And I found some of your videos, that helped me a lot. Thank you so much and I'm hoping to see more nice rides and useful historical information. And Mb one day I'll be skilled enough to join some of your group rides!

Anyone ever encounter an aggressive cyclist who: (1) don’t follow the law, (2) get themselves in near misses because of their carelessness, and (3) yell at drivers to “share the road”? These cyclists are asking for an accident.

I am new to W Seattle and just moved in. And so I apologize if there is an obvious answer to this. I haven't had time to scout out a lot of these roads. But is there a reason that you don't take Delridge Way back up? Is it just to show different routes or is there a reason you take one route north and one route south?

the skyway library, use to be a tin hut ,I remember walking up to the library with my mom getting a Babar) for her to read to me.

Excellent, thank you Bob!

I added. Screen shot of the SB 6208 info to my phone….just in case! I think I’ll change out the Catrike flag on my recumbent trike for a SB 6208 flag so I can just point to it when I slowly roll through stops signs (with no other traffic)….LOL

Love the the late 90s career core format

Thanks, Bob! This is a great series. Love learning about trails and parks I've been using for decades 🙏

I’m like for how to new things.

It's always interesting to see how our current topography compares to that before all the regrades and water reroutings.

Thank you for sharing your walk Bob. Perhaps worth mentioning is that the area south east of Husky Stadium was a landfill in the late 1800s and that the area to the north east of Husky Stadium was the Seattle city dump until the 1960s. Thanks again!

"Centro de la Raza" does not mean people of "all races". It means "The Center for our Race"., but race does not transliterate to English because Mexican Spanish has a different definition of race which is more akin to "our struggle". Seems like you are trying to make the divisive white American definition of race "work".

thanks for pronouncing dxWTLusH!!!

Great running into you and chatting at the finish line. Keep on keepin on! - Jeremy and Kathy

Thank you because my friend.

Surprise i didnt run into you, what's new?

Thank you for including your picture with me! 😍

It was a great day for a ride. Some of us detoured at Lincoln Park to go say hi to the troll Bruun Idun.

There were good vibes that day. I always appreciate the local history facts in your videos.

This video is amazing but the Tukwila/middle section of this “trail” is a joke… literally crossing over a freeway onramp, what were they thinking planning that.
