Welcome to Bike Friday, where we believe the bicycle is still the most efficient, human-centred form of transportation ever designed.

In general, my rule is simple. When in a city, head for the hills. More often than not, of course, that means heading out of town. To the country. That’s what makes Seattle something special. Wherever I am in or near Seattle, I’m drawn to the city. Because it isn’t really city cycling. At least […]
