For those who already love Seattle, or for those who are willing to fall in love with it, Ibike Tours' Seattle bike and walking tour are a fascinating excursion into the heart and soul of this magical city. Ibike has an inventory of 1800 points of interest in the city to choose from, and an almost infinite number ways to connect them for a fun and enriching tour. It just so happens the almost every building and every street has a story -- some happy, some inspiring, some ironic and some sad, but all are informative. We won't try to tell you every tale, but selected stops along the way provide insight that bring out the rich history and heritage, geographical and environmental diversity, and economic, geological and cultural complexity of Seattle. Participants have opportunities to learn how: the indigenous Salish people who lived before contact with Europeans, Hawaiians were early foreign trappers and traders in the region, Chinese immigrants built the infrastructure, Japanese immigrants fed the people, African-Americans and Jews outfitted the gold rushers and other ethnic groups transformed the land. We visit local markets, wander in historic districts, examine art and architecture, identify flora and fauna and enjoy the extraordinary friendliness of the people and inspirational beauty of the city. The rich cultural heritage of Seattle is a virtually undiscovered treasure and the quality of the bicycling is legendary. The program is more than a bicycle trip; in addition to the physical activity you can enrich your mind and nourish your spirit. Custom programs can be arranged year round. Kid-friendly itineraries are available.
