You could take a Pronto bike to Fremont...oh, wait, no you can't. Except at the U Link station, there are zero bike share stations along the Burke/Gilman Trail. EXPAND THAT SYSTEM NOW!!!

"Considerable distance"? Husky Stadium is a whole 1/2 mile from Red Square. You know why transit systems in other countries work so well? Because people aren't afraid to walk more than 5 minutes.

"...there are plans to extend [light rail] it all the way to Northgate." No, there are not mere plans to go to Northgate -- heavy construction has been under way for a few years now. Ansel, please inform yourself.

This a real problem for me. As it stands I dont bring my cargo bike on the train during peak hours (that's a real dick move). I sometimes take light rail from mt baker to Beacon hill when I dont want to slog up the hill. I would like very much to rail my cargo to UW and the ride the BG to my job in Ballard (and where my kid has preschool). If I want to pull off this commute with one kid I have to buy a new single rider bike. Boo. I'm also worried there wont even be room for me to commutte with just one kid on the new bike. We need some bike cars.

Why does Sound Transit require that those with bikes board only after other passengers have boarded? It takes extra time to hang the bike on the hook so I routinely try to board first and avoid loading the bike on hook just as the train pulls away from the station.

And why does Sound Transit require that riders stand with their bike when not on a hook? Standing with the bike requires hovering in the doorway and ensures that I'm in the way of every person boarding and exiting the train; and when I sit with my bike in the seat directly across from the bike hook, I position to bike so that there's virtually no blocking of the smaller number of people who need to pass by.

Please, please, please, Seattle, do not listen to the horrendous advice given by #1.
