Bleriot Rides to Work Today

[rob markwardt]

Greetings,
I work 24 miles away from home and have kid drop-off duties in the
morning so unfortunately I drive to work. I do, however, try to ride
in at least a couple times a year. Since today was bike to work day so
I made arrangements with my wife and made the trek to my place of
employment...a middle school in S. Everett, WA. Kids were kind of
impressed though I don't think they thought too much of my
Bleriot..."is that from the 80's?".."I hate handlebars like that".
Perfect day for riding...mild temps, some overcast. Going up was
almost all side streets and residential neighborhoods. On the return
trip I mainly used the Interurban Trail. Tired tonight but had a
great time...hopefully I can do it again before the end of the school
year.

Nice ride!
Wouldn't be a 'convenient' daily commute that I could do.
Great thing for the kids to see that one can use a bike this way.

Rob:

Well done!  How do you deal with that ped/"bike" bridge?

The picture is kind of decieving. There is a ramp on the right side
so it really is for bikes and peds. I usually just use the crosswalk
since the traffic on 99 gets the majority of green light time.
