STOLEN BIKE
My bike was stolen this morning from my garage. It’s a RadWagon 4, Serial Number W4320B000007. After market components like the rear bench seating, cage, front basket, and 500 watt headlamp make it easily distinguishable. Additional points for the fun stickers on the down post that my kids put on it, and the West Seattle Bike Dad stickers on both sides of the battery.

I will update if I come across video or photos of the act, a police report is filed, and anything else that comes up. Thanks to all for looking out!

Light Rail is Coming! That means construction detours, and here’s one of our first ones. The West Seattle Bridge Trail is closed from Delridge to 22nd Ave SW for soil sample testing from September 12 through September 20. The recommended detour route involves going downhill like you’re heading to Alki, and riding the Spokane Street sidewalks to the west side of the fire station that leads up to Delridge.

There are numerous conflict points with vehicles, and a lot of people who end up driving those roads down there do so because they are lost. USE CAUTION!

If you can, I recommend using Avalon between Yancy and the Alki Trail as an alternative to reduce bicycle congestion on the Delridge sidewalk, and for a better separated experience.

On my way to the Mariners game, I heard a *pop…pppppssssst* and looked around to see what I hit. Realized it was my rear tire! Completely flat immediately.

I didn’t hang my head too long… because I have an annual Speedy’s Bike Rescue subscription! I texted Tyler and he picked me up next to the Judkins Park light rail station within 30 minutes. Instead of taking me up to Rad Power Bikes to drop it off and lock it somewhere overnight (I was heading up there tomorrow morning for a new caliper and truing anyway) Tyler offered to hold on to the bike overnight and deliver it in the morning when they open.

I jumped on the train and grabbed some Fat Shack before making it into T-Mobile Park just in time to miss Montes’ home run and watch the Rangers answer with five runs.

Being a Mariners fan is heartbreaking, but owning a cargo bike isn’t. Thanks in part to Speedy’s!

During COVID I decided to go for a bike ride. Then another. Then another. Soon it became a goal to ride every street in West Seattle so I could get to know my community better. Once I basically finished that, I moved over to the Rainier Valley.

As of Saturday, I have ridden my bike on 75% of all streets in Seattle!

I started just by tracking in Strava, but last year I found .earth and have used that as my tracker - it imports using Strava (what I use) or your Garmin or a few other options. Mostly I incorporate new routes into my daily travel, and add on to those rather than head out of the house strictly as a recreational trip.

Sometimes I get a little too focused on not acknowledging accomplishment until it’s done - especially at work. So I’m celebrating this milestone today by creating a video (I tried to make a .gif but somehow found a way to be unsuccessful in that!) of my progress.

Here’s to incremental progress, consistent improvement, and a celebration of where we are today. Cheers!

Yayyyy closing!! My first client who purchased Insignia, and let me tell you what!
First off, getting into a two bedroom in this building under $800k is really hard to do, but we closed at $762,500 with $12,500 seller credits.
And then the real work began! Nobody would lend on the building!! I reached out to a couple brokers I’ve worked with in the past and Brent Moody got it done. It took a couple extra weeks and the terms aren’t stellar, but once the condo finishes repairs associated with their lawsuit, refinancing will make sense. We hit a last minute snag too when the seller didn’t fix the inspection findings, so we pushed it out a couple extra days and they were able to take care of that.
All in all, a learning experience and I’m so thrilled that my clients are able to own in my personal favorite building in the city. Congratulations!

Under contract on a condo in Insignia! Original list price back in July of around $835k, we settled on $765,200 with $12,500 in seller credits toward closing costs.

Insignia is one of my favorite buildings in the city with unbeatable amenities and views, I’m so excited to help my clients get a great place within walking distance of their work and in the heart of Seattle so they can continue their car-free lifestyle! Closing in March 😁

I love getting my Orca wrapped each year! Last year I had 290 trips on 26 routes. This year I rode my bike a lot more often than I did last year, and used transit more frequently for longer trips. Those ferry trips were all ones where I loaded my bike on and rode to my destination. In addition to Sound Transit and KC Metro, this year I rode Pierce Transit and Kitsap Transit.

I like to share this because I don’t have a regular commute. I get around town at different times to different places depending on where I’m meeting clients, hanging out with my kids, or running errands. The 50 is my most used bus, I live less than a five minute walk from a stop and it takes me to my doctor’s appointments at the VA, Alaska Junction, and my kids school. I also use it to access the 1 line especially when I’m going south.

My favorite bus is the H. I live between the C and the H, but taking the H home I can walk through Longfellow Creek to get to and from my stop so it’s stress free with my kids in tow.

What’s your favorite bus? What’s the bus you ride the most? Let me know in the comments!

I love this city and I love being able to explore different parts of it, see it from new perspectives, and experience it in a new way on a regular basis.

Got a big ‘ol flat tire the other day after taking the kids to Alki. We took the bus home, then I was able to head back over and grab my bike with our car, but it’s so huge it was poking out of the trunk and my tailgate was up the whole time. Not ideal.

Enter Speedy’s! I made an appointment for Tyler to come by and pick me up this morning, he drove me over to Rad Bikes in Ballard where I have a two year maintenance plan, and dropped me off. He threw the bike in his van, tied it down, and we chatted as we made our way across town.

I had called ahead to make sure the folks at Rad could change my tire (yes, it’s enough of an effort for it to be worth it to take it in), and my two year maintenance plan covers free tube changes and 15% off tubes.

All in all, what could’ve been a little bit of a headache of not having my bike was not only easy, it was delightful since the customer service and personality of all involved were just a joy to be around.

I highly recommend Speedy’s, it’s $80 a year for up to six rescues, especially since my RadWagon won’t fit on a bus. The two year RadCare at Rad Power Bikes was $500 and includes a basic tune, four Rad Tunes, and free parts installation. Since we ride over 1500 miles a year, this is a *screaming* deal. Between the two services, I have zero stress about being stranded or without my bike for long. Thank you both!!
