Really glad the weather's at least considering cooling down. #Seattle #cycling #seabikes #greenlake (Original)

Saw Zach Hales's Park(ing) Day park while out riding on Friday. Looks like folks were having a pretty chill time! #cycling #bicycle #seabikes #parkingday (Original)

Had an awesome time on the Swift Industries social ride today! (Album) #cycling #bicycle #seabikes

Perfect day for a ride. No rain, but less heat. # # #
#cycling #bicycle #seabikes

People are panicking about the # heatwave, but I haven't had much issue with exercising outdoors in heat worse than this around here. Today's afternoon # ride was quite pleasant. # #

That said, I'm reasonably fit and young, so I don't have to be as careful. Definitely applying sunscreen, though!

Been playing around with RAW photo editing in #Darktable for the past week. I have a lot of it down, but I could really use a tool for checking the tint of grey surfaces. (1, 2, 3, 4) #photography #photog #photo #photos

The photos here are from my usual route through Woodland Park by #bicycle , which I discovered by old-fashioned wayfinding. #cycling #seabikes

Having something familiar in the shot that you know should look a certain way certainly does help!

Did an "Idaho stop" at a small neighborhood four-way stop, a middle-aged man on an electric scooter who showed up after me and to my left sarcastically shouted "Nice stop!" He then did his own "Idaho stop" so I shouted "You too!" back to him.

"Idaho stops" or "rolling stops" have been legal for cyclists in Washington since October 2021. # # #

#Seattle Parks and Recreation seems to be doing something to Woodland Park lately. I saw the shelters torn down and rebuilt. #cycling #bicycle #seabikes (1)

Finally got the bike fit perfect on this guy! I'm able to both push down and pull up while spinning at a high cadence, which feels like really being in my "power band" like with an engine. I was even _climbing_ at 14+ MPH with a load! #cycling #bicycle #seabikes (1, 2, 3)

Went on an enjoyable yet rigorous #bicycle ride this morning, following a loop I always enjoy. Despite snacking on an energy bar in Lake Forest Park, I ended up bonking while riding through Lake City, so I had to stop at the Metropolitan Market in Laurelhurst. Since the energy bar didn't help, I thought to try a sugary sports drink for a quick boost, and it certainly did the trick! I guess that's why they contain so much sugar, since a low calorie drink wouldn't be so helpful when running low on energy. #cycling (Album)

While out, I noticed several booths for #BikeEverywhereDay scattered about, which was pretty cool. What was less cool was that the Burke–Gilman Trail was being blocked off in the University District, and I'm still not sure why. #seabikes #Seattle

Checked out the partially gravel #bicycle route along the shore of Union Bay yesterday. The relative quiet and scenery were quite nice! #cycling #seabikes (Album)

While riding back home through Fremont, I saw that the #Seattle Fire Department was fighting a fire in an old house a little up the hill, which explained the smell of smoke everywhere. I asked my local bike shop about it and they said that it was a training exercise paired with a controlled demolition.

@clover let me have her old Garmin Fenix 5 since she hadn't used it in quite some time. Been wearing it on my #bicycle rides and when sleeping to keep track of various biometrics. #cycling #fitness

Glad to finally be back on this bike! Since my 333fab is all set up, I wanted to use the same technique to finally get this bike perfect. Raising the saddle was a good starting point, but there are still a couple small tweaks left to make. #cycling #bicycle #seabikes (1, 2, 3)

I've kind of given up on getting groceries by # in # when hundreds of dollars of my stuff was stolen off my bike. # #

Went on a nice little spin around Capitol Hill this morning, before potential bad weather rolls in. It was really nice to get a little more hill climbing than usual in! #cycling #bicycle #seabikes #Seattle (Album)

Also, the new deck on the Montlake Bridge looks very nice.

This isn't the best route with skinny tires. #cycling #bicycle #seabikes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

Some lady almost did a left turn into me on Dexter Ave at Valley St. No stop signs for either of us. She was looking right at me and she didn't even stop. She only didn't T-bone my left side because I swerved as she entered my path of travel.The only traffic control device for either of us was a yellow flasher, as she was oncoming traffic prior to turning.

While out riding last week, I discovered a new route from Stone Way N to Fremont Avenue N via Woodland Park. Since the road is closed in the park, it's a very quiet and scenic option, with lots of tree cover. #cycling #bicycle #seabikes #park #Seattle (Album with more photos)
