Without the stress of watching for giant roadway cracks or worrying about cars and trucks behind me, I was able to let my mind wander. I thought about the guy down in Central Texas who transformed his dog trailer into a way to bike necessary supplies to stranded residents and rescue workers after a bridge was rendered impassible to cars and trucks. I also thought about how the massive E Marginal Way rebuilding project was sold primarily as a freight project, and how the bikeway was there mostly to separate people biking from those work vehicles. Yet the only freight hauling I saw that morning was happening in bike lanes. Sometimes, people driving cars on the road are heading to Alki for recreation, and sometimes people biking are hauling goods. It’s all transportation infrastructure, and the more options people have the more resilient, healthy and fun our city will be.
