If you don't have GPS yet, you may want to print out a state map before your trip. With all the road maps, satellite images and topographical images out there these days, there's really no reason to ever get lost again! |
 Boulevard Park along South Bay Trail There
are
now several on-line bicycle maps for Bellingham, WA. My map
provides
an overview of streets and trails. At 110kb (jpg html jpg format)
the page is fairly quick to load. I drew the map with a felt pen
and scanned it in. Feel free to get your own printouts, looks
best
with a color printer.
City of Bellingham has now come out with a more detailed and professional looking map. It is a large (several megabyte) file with a smaller thumbnail version. Also there is now a "paper" map of Bellingham & Whatcom County available at local bike shops. Mt. Baker Bicycle Club contributed to its production. Links and more information Exit to City of Bellingham Bike Advisory Committee Maps. Bellingham Parks Department Trail Guide.

Home of welded together "high bikes," but apparently no longer a web page. Located at 903 1/2 N. State along South Bay Trail. Phone 255-2072. * A bicycle map of Lynden, WA and surrounding county area is available for free, last I knew, at their visitor's and convention organization. There is also one for Skagit County. I sometimes start from my house near Lake Padden or drive to World Gym and bicycle to Fairhaven 24th St. through the interurban trail (both ways), then to Marina Park near the Alaska Ferry terminal and then-past Boulevard Park to Zaunich Park to Cornwall Park past Broadway Park to Memorial Park and the railroad beds, to Alabama Vining Bridge to Bloedel Park and back to World Gym. It's such a spectacular ride because of all the parks it goes through or passes. I bought my first bicycle last year at the age of 50 and put 1,000 miles on it. Since January this year I have 2,300 miles and I hope to reach 3,000 miles by the end of October. There are so many beautiful places to ride in Whatcom and Skagit county and of course B.C. especially along the seaside. Thanks for creating your map and site to share with others. That is very altruistic. |
