It's in lousy, lousy shape, deferred maintenance really showing. I lived in Arlington, VA for a year, and I could bike to National airport on their bike trail while crossing a single road. The trail was always in much better shape than the B-G. Hell, the trail from Hailey, Idaho to Ketchum, in a heavy-winter climate is always in better shape. It's about 15 miles long as well. Seattle needs to stop resting on its laurels and get to work making a top-grade bike system. And, no, 'share-ons', or whatever the hell those things are, don't count</p>
