other than addressing the lack of a bridge over swamp creek, tolt pipeline right of way needs so little work to make it a good east-west bike corridor
i'm not talking bike-armour good either, i mean road bike. yeah, there's a big hill which means the western side of it will always mostly be e-bikes, but with even my old Class 1, it's fine.
the part that needs work is a big grassy slope that's very similar to a big paved slope on the other side of the hill. It needs work at the very top, and at this little roller-coaster dip halfway up. that, and pavement. That's the part I walked.
everything else you can bike now and it's basically okay.
"The [2018 United Nations General Assembly] resolution for World Bicycle Day recognizes "the uniqueness, longevity and versatility of the bicycle, which has been in use for two centuries, and that it is a simple, affordable, reliable, clean and environmentally fit sustainable means of transport.""
Okay, I'm calling it: RC1 is Release Version 1.2 of the MEGAMAP, the combined bike map including Greater Northshore, complete Seattle (the complete part is new), and 2 Link Eastside maps, with also a little chunk from King County Regional Trails to get us all of Lake Washington.
It be LORGE but it be FAIRLY COMPLETE as bike maps go of Northwest King County, except ironically for the little KC-maintained section. But what that does buy you is the last section of the Lake Washington Loop. So I think it's worth it.

Family ride on back roads of NH this morning. It’s the kind of area where any opening with elevation provides a new perspective of Mt Ascutney. #gravelcycling#biking
I felt pretty good this morning so got the bike out for a ride and managed to get 5 miles in under 30 minutes, which has been a goal for a while! Finally got my average speed over 10mph. Whew!
The trail markers of MTB trails showcase the poetry of creation. Made by volunteers, when you ride these at the end your legs, lungs, and soul agree: 'apt'. Let's do that one more time... #biking#mtb#pnw#westwoodplateau#nature#hiking

"Like to bike? Your knees will thank you and you may live longer, too
New research shows lifelong bikers have healthier knees, less pain and a longer lifespan, compared to people who've never biked. This adds to the evidence that cycling promotes healthy aging."
“I’m wondering if something subliminal has happened after reading Bicycling Monterey. I’ve been riding the Rock Island Greenway Trail for the last week and a half. Just a wonderful and beautiful ride! It’s not Monterey, California, but a real gem for Peoria, Illinois.”—Richard Coers
Has anyone here used the Avondale Road barely-marked "bike lanes" from around the Power Line Trail up to NE 132nd? Because on Google Maps they lack things like "this is a bike lane" markers except at the very, very end. Right now I've marked them as dual sharerows because of how bad they look to me. But are they secretly okay in person?
