Emerald City Bike Ride

For a few hours this weekend, two Seattle freeways were open to bikes only! As a part of the first time-offered Emerald City Bike Ride, 7,000 riders gathered to ride the 21-mile urban loop over the new SR-520 floating bridge, the I-5 Express Lane, and around Seattle.

The view from the I-5 Expressway is much easier to appreciate from a bike.

Just the early morning downtown commute.
