A 1.7-mile stretch of the Snoqualmie Valley Trail between the Mount Si Golf Course and North Bend will be closed for bridge replacement until mid-August.
There is no off-road detour. To get from one side to the other, bicyclists have to ride on Boalch Avenue (there’s an adjacent trail through the old Meadowbrook farm) and …

It looks like Pittsburgh’s last leg of the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) will open soon, finally completing a 335-mile off-road bicycle route from Washington DC to Pittsburgh. [See the interactive map below.]
Crews are working on the “final mile” to link the Steel Valley Trail to the Three Rivers Heritage Trail that will deposit GAP …

Gosh. I just love the sound my bicycle tires make as they zip through puddles and slosh over soggy leaves that fall on wet autumn days. That’s why it was so much fun to ride through the first decent rain of the season on Sunday.
OK. That’s a bunch of malarkey.
I never enjoyed bicycling …

If you think it’s hard to get around because of the road construction in the Seattle area this summer, the situation isn’t much different on the bike trails.
I can think of at least three bike trail closures around Seattle right now — Green River Trail, Cedar River Trail, and East Lake Sammamish Trail. Only …

Michigan is fast becoming a major destination for bicycle touring, and one of its major draws is its wide-ranging network of rails-to-trails.
Abandoned and out-of-service railroad corridors criss-cross the state, and local governments and “friends of the trail” groups are transforming these into paved and gravel trails for bikes and other non-motorized users.
In fact, Michigan leads the nation in upgrading railroad corridors into bike trails. Its 126 rails-to-trails stretch for 2,379 miles around the state …

Unable to take a bike ride later on Tuesday, I started my day with a 10-mile loop ride after a cup of coffee and a banana.
I headed along Lake Washington again, then headed east under the imposing Wilburton trestle in Bellevue.
One day, this abandoned railway could be a bike trail that stretches from Renton to Snohomish, a distance of 42 miles.
Riding a bike across the trestle would be a blast. Imagine the views …
