- sleepybrett 3y agoI'm in ballard and my company has an office downtown. Two weeks back I needed to go in for a day as my home internet was down and decided to take my cargo ebike (it's been lovely out). I'm not sure I'd want to commute on a cargo bike every day, but it was a great ride, both ways, along the ship canal trail. (Little detour on the way home down to figurehead brewing to hit up the midnite ramen truck for dinner)
- SmellTheGlove 3y agoThe little detours make ebike commuting fun! Out of curiosity did you cross the canal at the Ballard Bridge or somewhere else? I haven’t crossed that bridge yet because I really don’t want to ride on 15th.
- operatingthetan 3y agoIt's not a good bridge to cross because the walk/bike part of it is dangerously narrow. Either take the Fremont bridge or use the Ballard Locks (which requires walking).
- sleepybrett 3y agoI take the ballard bridge and it's one of the shittier parts of the commute, I'm considering swapping to the fremont route. I don't really ride on 15th. I live in old ballard so I just swing down though russel/tallman and onto 17th and then just take the the ballard way sidewalk to the ballard bridge entrance. The pedestrian path on either side is rideable as long as there is no-one else around, you may be reduced to walking your bike though. So yeah I'd avoid 15th proper and just take a side street down to ballard ave. That said the ramen truck would be quite a detour if I took the fremont bridge as it's in interbay near fishermen's terminal.
