Today I'll be touring Downtown Seattle by bike. I've visited Seattle a couple of times in the past and have always enjoyed the city. Seattle is such a pretty city. So much so, I've decided to officially tour it, so I can bring you along on my ride so you can experience Seattle too.

I'll be riding my mountain bike on the tour. Having enjoyed my past two biking venues in nature, I thought I'd give the mountain bike a spin around town. It has what's called a "granny" gear that's designed to assist when climbing steep inclines. If you've ever visited or perhaps heard anything about Seattle, you may already know that city center is situated atop a steep hill that draws down into Puget Sound.

Seattle is a pretty large city and has a heathly metropolitain feel to it. However, being located in the Northwest, it provides certain advantages for bikers. Most folks who drive here are considerate of bikers, Seattle is a bike-friendly town. So, as I tour the town, I'll certainly bike defensively as I always do but I probably won't be having any close-calls per say.

Well, I'm ready to paint the town by bike. Come along with me for some city biking adventure.
