Our Morning Commute

I rode my bike to work for the first time today!  It was a great way to start the day.  My little copilot rode along with me to daycare and then I continued on my way. I didn't take any pictures of this morning's trek, but here are some highlights I encountered along the way.

I was able to go about 50 blocks on Klickitat, a very pretty street. 

It's where Ramona Quimby lived!

Klickitat was the safer route suggested at ByCycle.org. The street is painted with these handy symbols.

Next was a beautiful ride along the river on the Eastbank Esplanade...

...then over the Hawthorne Bridge

(See- there I am!)

After a short zigzag through downtown, then it was up the big hill on Terwilliger...

...and I arrived victorious at my destination!
