Thanks for your kind comments on my web site regarding my incident with the SLUT. I’m mending nicely thank you and glad you weren’t hurt too badly. Biking is fun. SLUT tracks are bad.

:( Sadness indeed! I’m glad you’re still mobile, but… goodness… I never knew the slots of the SLUT could be so dangerous. I’ll have to remember that if I ever take the green machine down that way.

Ow. Ow, ow, ow. That’s all I have to say, other than “ow.”

Thanks for the tip on garbage trucks. I’ll try 5th Ave, I just always took Nickerson to Westlake since I leave right off Nickerson, it made sense. I don’t mind backtracking a bit if it keeps me from getting the crap beat out of me again, though. Right now I think it’s easier to list the parts of my body that don’t hurt than those that do.

And no, have not done the waterfront trail – it crosses tracks as well, correct? But I don’t think they are the same sort of horrid the SLUT tracks are.

Ok, look, the SLUT tracks are deadly. The biking community in Seattle is quite pissed about it ruining Westlake. You aren’t the first to have eaten it.

And while I’m on the topic of commuting in Seattle, garbage trucks. Watch out for them.

4th Ave is the best way through Seattle coming up from the ID / SoDo. Hands down. 5th underneath the monorail tracks if from Queen Anne.

And, have you rode the length of the waterfront trail yet?
