(We also have a\u00a0<a title=\"Washington Bikes Retail is Open for Business\" href=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/2014\/03\/18\/washington-bikes-retail-open-business\/\">bike gift shop<\/a>\u00a0if you&#8217;re in the mood to shop before heading to the bakery.)<\/p>\n<p>This route uses Fourth to Pike. You&#8217;ll have a left-side bike lane much of the way, then need to move to the right lane to turn right onto Pike. This can be busy during standard business hours; you have a slight downhill helping you keep up with the cars as you change lanes.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can stay on First Ave. from our office to Pike and turn right. Move to the left lane before Seventh for your turn. (Urban traffic note: If you ride in the far left lane on Pike you&#8217;ll keep getting hung up behind left-turning cars waiting for pedestrians to cross. Take the second left lane and you&#8217;ll cruise. This takes you through the Convention Center traffic so you&#8217;ll see lots of taxis, buses, and pedestrians.)<\/p>\n<p>Heading north this route makes use of the Melrose Trail above I-5 and the trail shortcut under I-5 to get you to the University Bridge. This is a quieter option with lower traffic volume than taking Fairview\/Eastlake to the bridge. It&#8217;s more direct than the first suggested route on Google Maps, which makes more use of trails but routes you out of your way.<\/p>\n<p>After crossing the bridge you&#8217;ll head right and pick up the Burke Gilman Trail.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m25!1m8!1m3!1d171797.53066446958!2d-122.2989714!3d47.716719399999576!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!4m14!1i2!3e1!4m5!1s0x54906aa4d8e42695%3A0xa081bb6e077d793b!2s314+1st+Ave+S%2C+Seattle%2C+WA%2C+USA!3m2!1d47.599589599999995!2d-122.33379289999999!4m5!1s0x549011c817df4fc1%3A0xe536bd3bef539c38!2sHoney+Bear+Bakery%2C+17171+NE+Bothell+Way%2C+Lake+Forest+Park%2C+WA+98155!3m2!1d47.754126!2d-122.27920499999999!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1401563799444\" height=\"450\" width=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d rather take trails for almost the entire route, you&#8217;ll double the miles and have a very pleasant ride along the waterfront, past the <a title=\"Seattle Great Wheel -- ferris wheel in downtown Seattle on the waterfront\" href=\"https:\/\/seattlegreatwheel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Seattle Great Wheel<\/a>\u00a0and other attractions, and through the <a title=\"Olympic Sculpture Park\" href=\"http:\/\/www.seattleartmuseum.org\/visit\/olympic-sculpture-park\" target=\"_blank\">Olympic Sculpture Park<\/a>.
