Cycling Seattle's Lake Washington Loop
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- Join me for a scenic 55-mile bicycle ride around Seattle's Lake Washington; via city streets, paved trails, and gravel. This video is a sequel to the video I made last year about riding across the two bridges that span Lake Washington only this time I take the viewer the whole way around the lake.
I ride the Lake Washington Loop multiple times every summer. I live in Seattle, so I can literally ride the Lake Washington Loop from out my front door. For years I've wanted to find a way to share the experience, but photos just do not convey what the journey is like. Now that I've gotten into making videos, I finally found the perfect medium to communicate the fun of one of my favorite bike rides.
Although the ride begins and ends in Seattle, the Lake Washington Loop travels through seven other municipalities along the way: Renton, Newcastle, Bellevue, Redmond, Woodinville, Bothell, and Lake Forest Park. In addition, the Lake Washington Loop takes us through or along the following attractions: the Burke-Gilman Trail, the University of Washington, the Washington Park Arboretum, Lake Washington Boulevard, Seward Park, Renton Airport, Eastrail (Eastside Rail Corridor Trail), and the Sammamish River Trail.
Filmed with two GoPro HERO10 cameras and a Skydio 2+ drone. Edited with Final Cut Pro. Music tracks from Epidemic Sound.

The 520 trail (and Eastrail too) also connects to the Cross Kirkland Corridor, which is also a gravel pavement. It now spans all the way through Kirkland and connects with Sammamish River Trail at 124th st, almost at Woodinville.
I totally enjoyed as if I am biking Lake Washington Loop
Again.
Outstanding drone video work Luke!
Wonderful!
Great ride idea for myself. Thank you for sharing your detailed guidance.
Very well done. Loved the drone work!
I did the Lake Washington loop nearly 20 years ago when I lived in Seattle, in a clockwise direction, starting and ending in Greenwood, where I lived at the time. It wasn't as hard as I expected, but also not super easy. A bit of climbing on the east side from what I recall. But it was a similarly beautiful, warm and sunny day and I really enjoyed it. I did it alone and think it would be more enjoying doing it with others. The only part I didn't care for was in Renton, which is away from the lake and pretty built up, and a bit confusing to navigate.
Btw that bike store just off the Burke-Gilman near UW at the start of the video used to be Ti Cycles, which is where I got my bike checked over and its headset installed after I built up the rest of it myself, not long before I did the Lake Washington loop. Do they still have an air compressor outside to get free air for your tires? I must have passed by it hundreds of times in my years in Seattle. Great cycling city.
Luke, the north end of Lake Washington is in Kenmore, not in Bothell as you said.
Bothell is just a couple miles east of Kenmore, so it's def North End of LW.
Never stopped at Bothell Landing Park along the SRT?
Planning to do this in July on my Brompton. Hopefully path is in hood shape.
I did it a week ago and it was great. The new eastrail section is so nice.
Frank's never biked around the loop, but I do know every inch of the streets here
I no longer live in Washington unfortunately so where’s a reputable place to rent a solid bike so I ride this trail on a weekend if I fly into town?
just ride there
@@popeyedoyle6360 that’s a LONG ride!! 😂🤣
Try Recycled Cycles. I rented a road bike for my son for this exact same ride one Father's Day.
Well done video! Is there a ride by gps directions for the ride that you could share please?
