With
Seattle mayor Mike McGinn an avid cyclist, it's not surprising that the city's bike cul-
ture is improving. Perhaps one of the best ways for new visitors to get oriented is with a
bike tour. Seattle Cycling Tours organizes some corkers. Two tours leave daily from its
downtown base, the best going all the way to Ballard Locks, avoiding Seattle's famous
hills.
Another option is the longer weekend ride to Bainbridge Island. It also rents bikes
($24 for two hours). Book online.
