Welcome to Seattle! Check out Cascade Bicycle Club at www.cascade.org or the
Seattle Bicycling club at www.seattlebike.org. If you have a single speed your are going to
have legs of steel! The city of seattle has a free fairly decent bike map. If you work/live anywhere
downtown, Bikestation at 311 3rd ave S (Pioneer Square) usually has copies, actually just
log onto www.ci.seattle.wa.us/transportation/bikemaps.htm. All kinds of good info there,
including King County maps, etc. Be aware that Seattle has a helmet law. I've not seen in enforced
on Capitol Hill, or West Seattle, but you will get ticketed on the Burke-Gillman Trail and on the
I-90 lid. Personally I never ride without my helmet
