Cycling in Seattle is a form of transportation in Seattle, Washington, that comprises 3 percent of commute trips in the city center.[ citation needed] The city has a network of 134.8 miles (216.9 km) mixed-traffic streets and grade-separated bikeways, planned to be expanded into a 608.3-mile (979.0 km) network by 2034. [1]: iii
Bicycles were introduced to Seattle in 1879 by merchant William H. Pumphrey upon returning from San Francisco. [2] By 1900, approximately 10,000 of the city's 80,000 residents owned or used a bicycle. [3] The bicycling craze, which influenced the creation of the city's Olmstead boulevards and greenways, waned by 1915 with the introduction of cars amid Seattle's large population boom. [4]
The City of Seattle conducted a bikeshare feasibility study in 2010, concluding that the county's bicycle helmet law would be an obstacle to the system's success. [1] Other organizations, including King County's government and Seattle University, also explored launching a bikeshare system in 2011. [2]
The King County Regional Trails System (RTS) is a 175-mile (282 km) [1] network of trails for non-motorized uses, including cycling, walking, hiking and equestrian activities, in King County, part of the Puget Sound region and Seattle metropolitan area in the U.S. state of Washington. The network will eventually grow to 300 miles (480 km) under current expansion plans from the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks. [2]
