Last night I rode through Interlaken (it is beautiful) and continued down to the Arboretum. But not that main road—there’s a road that goes back to the visitor center. That’s a great one, particularly at night, for crusing along.

You probably never bother to go on the other side of the lake, but there’s lots of these in Bellevue, too.

There’s one that connects our neighborhood with the neighborhood behind us – if you don’t take this paved trail, or one of the unpaved one through the woods, it’ll be four times longer on the street. It’s why my kids could walk to school faster than we could drive them.

There’s the little trail that connects 156th with 148th, that runs starts by St. Andrew’s and runs along Robinswood park.

Then there’s the little trail that starts on NE 24th by the Mormon Church, and ends at Top Market, so you don’t have to take your bike/walk on busy streets.

Probably better known is the trail that starts in Yarrow Point and runs along 520 to Evergreen Point, ending at the bus stop just before the bridge starts.

My favorite trail is unpaved, but hard-packed enough for all but the most delicate of road bikes – the one that runs from Phantom Lake by “Blueberry” (officially “Larson”) Lake. I wrote about riding it home one day, here.

I love finding new bike trails near home.

It sounds like you’ve found some good ones near yours.

Terminal 91 sounds interesting. I’ll have to get hold of a bike next time I’m in Seattle.
