the only part for me that is worrisome is the 1-1.5 mile stretch on Northup, and that's mostly due to the lack of shoulder. but i've managed fine so far, just not something i look forward to. i could also see how it could easily discourage someone that's new to riding. i'm probably just spoiled with the BGT on the seattle side, which basically takes me from my place in ballard to the montlake bus stop almost worry free. so maybe i should just look at Northup as adding a little adventure to my day...
