Biking can be a good way to avoid traffic rat race.

Cut through on a quiet residential street. Humboldt St. in Bellingham.

Northbound lanes of I-5 are still closed dumping some of the I-5 traffic onto South Samish Highway through part of Bellingham. This puts more traffic on the main street past Lake Padden, but there are back routes and trails. After our Sunday Lake Padden Walking Group, I traced my route to our after walk lunch gathering at Whole Foods. I used the Bike-o-meter app.
