While its hilly terrain once meant it was better suited 08 to the most devoted of cyclists, e-bikes have made its steep inclines manageable for all. And no 09 matter where in the city your wheels roam, you’ll encounter plenty of good reasons to stop, sip, 10 snack, and take in the scenery. 11 “The best bike routes in the city are the Burke-Gilman Trail and maybe the Waterfront,” 12 says Johnson. The Burke-Gilman is undoubtedly the most popular bike path in the city, running 13 20 miles from the Puget Sound beaches of Golden Gardens Park east to the shores of Lake 14 Washington, then north along the water to the wineries of Woodinville. 15 Seattle is a city that is best seen via bicycle, allowing you to explore its various 16 neighborhoods with ease, stopping to enjoy its many parks, cafes, breweries, and other offerings 17 as you go. And cycling through the wider area around the city provides access to some of the 18 most magnificent natural landscapes on Earth. For bike buffs, it doesn’t get any better.
