North side of I-5 in Bellingham where the boxstores are is like a trip in itself.

One slightly arthritic ankle has bothered me for years while dancing and walking, but not while biking. A doctor recommended remidy is new shoes, better arch support and so forth.

Bike traveling to the north side of I-5 in Bellingham where the boxstores are is like a trip in itself. Improving bike access has allowed me to avoid the rat race.

Selfi at Big 5 where I noticed floor tile almost looks like the official colors of WWU. "Back the blue."

Freshly painted bike lanes along James Street north of I-5.

A bike / pedestrian path being built on north into the King Mountain Neighborhood pushing improvements farther north.

To go between sprawling parking lots, one often has to improvise, but look at the flowers in the vacant lot accoss the street!

Amazing, this field of flowers.

Looking east.

It's near a bike path by Whatcom Community College.

I ate at the northside branch of Bellingham Food Coop.

Showing off the meal I had.

Artistic bike racks at the Coops in Cordata and Downtown were made by the HUB bicycle Collective.

What much of the boxstore neighborhood looks like.
