You can load your bikes up and drive to the new bridge over the Snoqualmie River at Tolt Hill Road and park in the gravel at the intersection with West Snoqualmie River Road. Head south past the two golf courses, take a left at the "T" at SE 24 st, and continue on til you hit Red/Fall (SR-202). You can follow the highway into town, where the speed limit is low and cars are accustomed to seeing cyclists. You may be bashful about cycling roundabouts, but if you aren't cross the Snoqualmie and head north to the intersection of SR-203 and Neal Rd. Head up on Neal Rd. till it's re-intersection w/ 203, which is blocked off, as the road was undermined during flooding and is no longer open to cars.
A little kindness, please. At least they are walking.

3 people abreast is an obstacle on the BG or Sammamish River Trail, no matter what their body size is.
