They have some awesome bikes in Seattle...period. My impression I think more people ride in CA because of our great weather thang .... but Seattle has more of a cycling culture of people really using bikes as transportation and part of their lives.
When there I saw a lot of really great bike set ups, custom, customized, great use of paniers, trailers used to take the laundry to the laundramat and not just the rows of identical road bikes and lycra on club rides (not that there's anything wrong with that![]()

).
There may be more cyclists here in sunny CA (more people too) but it's more of a weekend/recreational thing I think.
