Everyone comes to biking with a different skill level and desire. Here are some ideas...
Business Name | Business Type | Location | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
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. |
