Just in time for our fantastically beautiful spring, the Seattle Department of Transportation has released a new, fully-updated Seattle Bicycling Guide Map featuring every single bike route in the city, including green bike lanes and bike boxes.

Green lines show bike trails, blue lines show lanes, and orange lines show arterial streets. The dots indicate signed bike routes.

Green lines indicate dedicated bike trails.

Order a paper copy from SDOT here or download a digital copy (.pdf). You can also plan your bike trip in advance using SDOT's interactive bicycle map. And don't forget, Bike to Work Day is tomorrow. Yeeeehaw!

As I ride my bike today in Amsterdam, I think about what a great job Seattle is doing, how far they have come AND how far yet to go..... Seattle,you ain't nearly halfway YET.....

Seems like 20 years ago, we called them walking paths.

I for one would be glad if Seattle's roads returned to their original usage as paths for our bikes, horses, and streetcars.

That said, traffic was such a mess due to the 99 and Mercer construction that I ended up missing this morning's press screening when I drove.

Hopefully the next update actually show steep hills. The Market Street hill that isn't marked is fucking vicious.

Don't forget to give the city input on the upcoming bicycle master plan update too!
