Just in time for Christmas 🎄

the #BikeBus shows how safety in numbers gives kids the chance to ride, learn, and build confidence on streets that would not feel safe alone. Protected bike lanes, diverters, and street designs that separate children from cars are what make this joy possible every day, not just on Bike Bus days.

If you believe Seattle should be a place where anyone — kids, elders, and everyone in between — can bike or roll with confidence and ease, please donate to help make this vision a reality. ⬇️ seattlegreenways.org/donate

We love to restore vintage bicycles. If you want a real Holiday surprise, just think of your loved ones reaction when they see their favorite ride looking so good again.

Converting new or existing bikes to our 750 watt Bafang electric kit with the long range 1100 watt hour battery makes an affordable Seattle proof, hill climbing E bike. There is still time to book for the Holidays. $1700 plus tax installed. Your bike or ours.

Have you noticed that raised pedestrian crossings are more common on bike lanes than on streets. What? Cars don't need to slow down?

@alkistu.bsky.social @westseaurbanism.bsky.social Well, the work to get funding to make West Seattle's Admiral Junction more walkable by controlling the aggressive traffic that prevails in that intersection has begun to pay off. $150,000 is in the budget. What can we do with that?

Hey Seattle City Council, here's a idea: What if (and stick with me here for moment) instead of spending the next four years working as hard as you can to make Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson fail, you work WITH her to try to do what's best for the people of Seattle. She's a reasonable person. Talk to her.

It has taken this country almost 250 years to be $37 trillion in debt! One man alone responsible for 1/3 of 250 years worth of debt! At the same time making the majority of the country poorer, and him and his family raking in billions!

@sngreenways.bsky.social Riding on a decent December 3rd night Lynnwood to West Seattle I was stunned by the volume of bicycle commuters starting in Shoreline along the interurban trail crescendoing to a constant stream from Green Lake through Downtown and tapering off a little on the way home.

Out to #Melbourne #Australia for the latest post by #slowcommuteclub . I really enjoy this channel. I couldn’t agree with her more. Bikes change lives. Physically. Mentally . Emotionally. My life would be worse off by miles not having bikes in it 🚲❤️

How about a vintage Cannondale upright touring bike? Good for commuting and having fun. This 47 cm T700 is going for $350. All Alki Bike and Board refurbished bikes come with a 90 day warranty.

A couple refurbished bike deals for those who prefer repurposing over importing. A pair of Kona blast xtra small 1 x 11 mountain bikes, Shimano Deore equipped. $550 for either bike. Great entry level mountain bikes for tweens and teens.

@alkistu.bsky.social y.social Support local and small businesses that support local communities.

Shop local and get vocal! Before you buy that cheap Target brand bicycle check out our refurbished bike shop quality used bikes.

We ain't buying it! Support local and progressive minded businesses instead. I wonder if you can. youtu.be/PRN51A1EnJ8?...

We were on @kuow.org in Seattle talking about LIFE AFTER CARS. Take a listen!

West Seattle light rail supporters are going to want to make sure they make it to this event on Monday night hosted by @cmtmosqueda.bsky.social, given the fact that light rail opponents are likely to turn out in spades. westseattleblog.com/2025/11/west...

This Not Just Bikes video is super viral. I am embarrassed to say I was a John Forrester believer back in the day. As an early bike transportation advocate Effective Cycling was the handbook. It kinda made sense to have full access to the roads. Not anymore. youtu.be/pRPduRHBhHI?...

Alki Bike and Board is on Blue Sky! Looking forward to keeping West Seattle updated in regards to bicycle infrastructure, industry breakthroughs, special deals, vintage restorations and the urban transition away from fossil fuels. #westseattlebikeblog #westseattleurbanism
