thank [insert deity here] the i-90 bike trail exists, but it can be a rough two-mile stretch on rainy days, and even on dry days.
problem: heading east on i-90 is going against traffic, meaning each and every large truck will shower you with:
- rocks/pebbles/dust/whatever from I-90
- leaves (a cluster pegged me in the ear the other day!)
- rain
solution: put your head down when the big trucks go by, so your helmet takes the brunt of the blast.
Also watch out for the winds, don't ride too close to the fence or your handlebars might get tangled up, which would probably toss you into the lake!

thanks for the tip.
when biking from west seattle what is the best entrance to the trail?
you can catch it just past the Intl District, where 12th Ave comes to the base of the Amazon.com (old orange bldg on hill) building is.
where does the trail start on the east side?

Hey Subbu,
The trail starts in Factoria, on the south side of I-90 - or in Bellevue on the north side - you can see it here: http://veloroutes.org/r/25
