Here's a collection of recent news from around the area:
Biking Bis
reports that
WSDOT has released renderings
of the new 520 bridge, including the bike lane; looks great

)
The
Seattle Bicycle Blog has a nice write-up
of recent trail improvements in the area, the removal of bollards from the
Burke-Gilman
(
Cascade's version
) and the much-needed repaving of the Duwamish Trail.
There's a
new area bike ride
, the
Ride Around the Sound
, and it includes a
route map
that can serve as a template for a 100-mile ride around Puget Sound.
While we wait
for the official re-opening of the trail along Marginal
by the 99 construction, here's a couple photos from last weekend that show it mostly complete. This will make life a lot easier for southbound riders when it's finished:
