    welcome to TE!
    where are you located? are you enjoying all the bike shops?
    I find it refreshing to hear that you think it's easy to get around Seattle on a bike. Love those hills?

    Where are you from? (that might help explain it!)
    Mimi Team TE BIANCHISTA
    for six tanks of gas you could have bought a bike.

    we are in redmond, ive noticed that in bellevue people seem to be kinda "bike stupid" redmond seems to be an island of bike friendliness. i love the bike trails, and bike lanes. we are from IL(chicago burbs and bloomington) we never saw bike lanes until we got here. the hills, im slowly getting used to those

    I was just in Seattle visiting family last week and I was amazed at the number of cyclists everywhere! How lucky that you live in a bike friendly city! As a strictly rural rider (so far), riding on those busy streets with traffic seems terrifying...but terrifying in a good way. I'd love to ditch my car but it's really not practical where I live. I also noticed your hills. We were staying up in the Fremont area near the zoo...wow, loads of hills!!! With loads of cyclists riding them!

    Enjoy riding and good luck deciding on the new bike!

    yeah, im more used to trails and stuff like that too. this riding in traffic thing takes some getting used to. luckily there are lots of bike paths here. as for the hills, i still walk some of the hills
