Road Cycling Highlight (Segment)

The grandaddy of all bike trails in Seattle. The spine of the cycle map, and a must-ride trail when visiting Seattle. This gets you in and out of the city as a commuter or a tourist. Takes you from Golden Gardens Park on Puget Sound in Ballard all the way through the Montlake Cut and up over the North end of Lake Washington, where it connects at several east side trails. A great way to start (or end) a cross-Washington bikepacking trip!

Good segment of the Burke Gilman Trail. Ideal stretch for commuting and riding.

Have a good light for those dark sections of the trail when riding at night. Pedestrians often do not have any reflective gear, so be careful
