Recycled Cycles Bike Shop with Rentals University Area. 1007 NE Boat Street, Seattle, Washington 98105. Best reached by Uber/Lyft. These folks have been in business for decades, so they must be doing something right. They've always treated me well here. There shop is just a block off of the Burke-Gilman Trail.
Mello Fellows Bike Shop Bike Shop with Rentals 2151 6th Ave, Seattle, WA 98121. Ten minute walk to the Via 6 building roughly across from the Amazon Spheres. This bike shop offers decent middle line rentals with mandatory insurance that might be worth it if you're going to get off the bicycle at some point.
Seattle Bicycle Tours Bike Tours 7 blocks away at Alaskan Way and Wall Street. This tour company offers a variety of tours using both electric bikes and standard bicycles. I've had a guest recommend the e-bike tour to others.
Seattle By Bike Bike Tours They meet at Recycled Cycles above. 1007 NE Boat St, Seattle, WA 98105. Uber/Lyft is probably the best option. Not sure if this company is still in business, but I've heard good things about their Lake Washington Scenic Ride tour. And, I suspect their other tours are excellent as well.
Bainbridge Island Trail Map Trail Map From the waterfront take the Bainbridge Island Ferry This is a trail map with historic information about the area just off the Bainbridge Island ferry. Bicycles are allowed on the trails.
Burke-Gilman Trail to Sammamish River Trail to Wineries Trails Depends on where you start. If you have a bike in Belltown, then bike to the Olympic Sculpture Park and onto the Elliott Bay Trail. Follow this to the Ship Canal Trail. Follow this to the Burke-Gilman Trail. Follow this to the Sammamish River Trail. This will lead you on an all-day excursion to the wineries in Woodinville if you enjoy wine. Then return. It is a long bike ride, but offers a variety of beautiful scenic spots in our area. If you rent from Recycled Cycles, you're already on the Burke and you can head east to the wineries from there.
