The most dangerous location for bicycle riders in Seattle is on a bike path.
Most of the bike traffic spends little time on the roadway, moving east and west along the Burke-Gilman Trail, parallel to Blakely. According to Seattle Transportation Department traffic records, the crosswalk where the popular bike trail and 25th Avenue meet has been the spot of more serious bike-car crashes - eight - over the past five years than any other location in the city.
