If you’ve been anywhere near downtown you know it’s a mad scene and lots of normal bike routes are a bit disrupted by the Fun Zone. Just thought I’d give a little tip…the carnival folks have coned off a service lane on Naito Parkway that is actually a great, car-free, bike lane that will get you from the Hawthorne Bridge to the Steel Bridge…just watch out for the ATVs.
