I've actually seen a couple of pretty severe accidents on the burke gilman trail, so safety isn't a given on "bike" trails either.
Every fall, those maples over the BGT through the UD drop their leaves, it rains, the wet, slippery leaves just stay there on the path for months, waiting to take somebody down. The streets get cleaned, the trail is a hazard for months every winter.

You make it sound like once you leave Seattle, there's nothing but freeway as far as the eye can see in every direction. Some of the best riding I've ever enjoyed was on rural highways and byways.
I didn't mean that, I'm just saying that I'm not a fan of biking on busy roads.

That's the reality now and it's likely to be the reality 20 years from now.
Yeah, unless something changes. I'd like to see America transition away from an automobile based transportation culture to one of a combination of public transportation and bicycles.
