Seattle Updates Bike Map

For all the talk about whether or not the city's Master Bike Plan goes far enough, one thing is clear: if you spend any time on the city streets, there are new bike lanes and preferred bike routes out there. To help you keep track of all the changes, the Department of Traffic has released a new version of the bike map.

If you ever ride your bike outside your neighborhood, you're going to want to have a copy of this map. We can tell you that over the years since we started commuting by bike, we've relied heavily on ours. With all the new lanes being painted and the new pieces of the Burke-Gilman Trail, staying up to date on the most bike-friendly routes is going to be key.

To get a new map, you can by call the Bike Alliance at 206-224-9252 or go to SDOT online where you can find the new map, plus a bunch of others online.
