I also think a poorly-maintained asphalt trail is worse than dirt/gravel; the cracks and potholes feel like they hit harder when the surface is paved.

- mikestew 6y agoGiven that in the twenty years I’ve lived here, King County refuses to do anything with the 520 trail and those fucking tree roots through the Microsoft campus, I’d rather they’d left it unpaved. It is embarrassing to have a bike trail in such pathetic shape, especially when it is a busy transportation corridor through a major local employer. As an added irony bonus, it’s within the city limits of a city that laughably claims to be the “bicycle capital of the Northwest”. But we have asphalt left over to pave a gravel trail that parallels another paved path a half mile away (Willows Rd. and the Sammamish River trail). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
