Barely used touring wagon, solidly built can also be disassembled and used as a garden cart.
Made to drag the kids around the neighborhood, my daughter has sat in it about 3 times but quickly outgrew it once she learned her balance bike. You would need an suv/mini van/truck to bring this home.
These sell brand new for about $100-$120. Smooth ride so it’s easy to pull two kids and make turns etc.
Leave a comment on how to contact you if you are interested thanks!
Cheers,
Greg

“… he was covered with the evening news … had an old pair of wool socks on his hands…Craig Morgan 2003. This is one of my favorite country songs.

A friend pointed out that it has been awhile since I wrote. I tried to say that I was out of stamps, but she saw through that right away. The truth is I am just tired. I laughed the first time I saw the beer commercial that advertised, “To the misery! Dilly Dilly!!” Then it hit me, that this is where I indeed go, everyday, dilly dilly.

I get a bunch of emails from my neighbors telling me about the return of the motorhomes, or the new tent, or the lady in the car. And I say THANK YOU. Thank you for the email, thank you for the patience, thank you for the opportunity. I cannot fix every situation, sometimes I make no difference at all. But I will always take my at bat.

This week I dealt with crisis, with narcotics, with heartache, and with liars. Sometimes all at once, sometimes one at a time.

I am helpless to unlock the doors when dealing with a person trapped in a horror inside of their own mind. Lord, I try, but I am a limited man with just a little skill. I wish we could solve this one aspect of the conflagration.

I dealt with heroin, and meth…again and again and again. It is what it is. I have two young ladies that have proudly kicked the needle. I am there for them when they need me. I think they are going to make it out of the woods.

I met with heartache. I stopped the world, stepped into a quiet place with this man, and shared what I could. You see, police deal with tragedy all of the time, we don’t get called to the good times. I finally figured out how to talk to people about it, most of us never do. I again emptied out my wallet because this man needed coffee and breakfast a lot more than I did. I am a rich man, I should do more.

I dealt with a liar. I won’t go into details, but it looked like I was being a mean cop with no heart. Be careful of what you think you are seeing. I have my cameras on, I stand open for review, and I stand behind my decisions if and when I need to take action.

And so we continue. A little smarter, a little more worn, a little more tired. Reserve your judgment of others, but trust it when you think you should call 911. We are kind of awesome and would love to help.

I still love coming to work. We have an awesome city with the ability to adapt and overcome. The only way to lose is to not try. We are trying to solve this crisis, and we will not lose. We are open 24/7/365. We still make house calls. Call us when you need us. Email us when you need to. Say Hi and wave when we look grumpy…we need a smile sometimes too.

[Michael Waldo]

My employer has dental coverage but it is capped at $1,500 a year. I had one crown last year and that blew my whole rest of year. Had to pay cash for cleaning and a cavity fill. Crazy. Why is dental insurance so bad?

[TSurly]

Mark nailed it. Your entitlement to ride on the trail as you see fit ends where the safety and wellbeing of pedestrians begins.

There is an inherent risk with cycling in a urban environment. If you think riding on Harbor Ave and Alki Ave bad, how do you handle riding downtown or elsewhere? If you feel unsafe riding in the street, use your legal right to take the lane. Thats what I do on around Alki to avoid being doored by people exiting there vehicles and to control the traffic behind me. If that isn’t a viable solution for you, then perhaps you need to reevaluate your choice of having a bike as your primary source of transportation.

Blaming dogs, kids and women with strollers is weak.

[mark47n]

There doesn’t have to be a posted speed limit to be considered reckless.

I think you are acting entitled in the negative sense.

You are hung up on the “legal sense” It all goes out the window when you act like it’s your path and other users are in your way.

I don’t care if you’ve been riding on it since you were a kid in short pants or since last week. It’s. Not. Your. Path.

This trail is only marginally similar to the Burke-Gilman and not similar at all to the Interurban.

I think I’ll stick with being the cyclist who occasionally blows a stop sign rather than the guy who rants because there are walkers on the multiuser path.

[westseattle7]

Let me clarify: I do always yield to pedestrians on the Alki trail, and I have never collided with anyone. I also will sometimes hop onto the street to avoid the worst bottlenecks (at duwamish head for example). I only hit 20 going on the longer straightaways where ped traffic tends to be nil, and when there is heavy summer tourist traffic I do cruise slower out of a sense of safety.

That being said, the attitudes expressed here are exactly the ones I’m fighting against. To TSurly, yes I am an entitled cyclist, as in I am ENTITLED to use designated trails on a bicycle, by the law. Go ahead and check out the Seattle Municipal Code. There is no speed limit for bicycles on city trails. SDOT has the Alki Trail in bold green on their bicycle map (indicating a major BIKE route). I’m not going to be shamed or called a “jerk” for exercising my legal right to ride by bike on a bike trail.

Yes, it’s mixed use also. No one disputes this. Like with the waterfront trail downtown, there are clear delineations between where cyclists and pedestrians should be. In fact, the downtown trail completely separates the two by wide park space. Everyone rides fast on that trail. People commute on it. Speeds up to 20 mph are common. No one is going to question a cyclist’s right to commute through the downtown park at speed, because it’s a vital route folks need to use.

Some people see the Alki Trail as a boardwalk. That’s fine if you do, but know that it is B.S., and a concept that exists in your mind, not legally. For me, that trail is a vital commuting corridor, no different from the Burke, the Interurban, or any other mixed use trail in Seattle. These are highways for cyclists, and my commute is long indeed, so I have a need to travel at speed.

I know many cyclists on Alki prefer to take the road. Good for you. I am not one of you. I don’t feel especially safe on Seattle streets mixing with multi-ton vehicles, and for that reason take trails whenever possible. Alki Ave SW has other hazards, like people racing in the street, and traffic becomes abysmal in the summer with everyone looking for parking and cruising around.

So it’s not for me. I choose to take the trail instead. That’s my right to do so, and no one is going to shame me out of it because the bourgeoisie have decided in their mind that trail is for strollers and tourists. I’ve been riding my bike on that trail since I was a kid. I’m not going to start risking my life on the road because some folks feel they get to decide arbitrarily what the best usages are.

Oh, and BTW when I ride on the road, I get constant shit from drivers who are pissed I’m not on the nearby trail. You can’t win as a cyclist in this city. People will criticize you no matter where you ride. I’m sticking to the bike trails, whether the car-centric transplants who move here like it or not.

Mixed use means mixed use, but there are clearly marked, separated paths for pedestrian and wheel based traffic. Mixed use doesn’t mean anything goes. And you’re right, Myrtle-Edwards is level and on the water, but that example proves my point exactly. On the waterfront trail, bikes and pedestrians are siphoned onto separate paths (like on Alki but with better median separation). During rush hour that trail is a major commuter route for bicycles who routinely cruise at 15-20 mph (I used to pedal this route daily and people would pass me going at that speed). No one bats an eye at fast cycling on the centennial trail, even though it meets all your requiremnents for a “boardwalk.” But “boardwalk” is not a legal concept, except in the minds of some. These are crucial bicycle highway routes with separated paths and bike bicycle symbols painted on the pavement. Yes others can use the bike path too, but then there should be a reasonable expectation if you do so bikes will be whipping by (and signaling and yielding appropriately). It’s not for some to declare this trail is for “cruising” because that’s what they use it for. I use it for commuting. I shouldn’t be forced off a marked bike trail because some are uncomfortable with the path being used as legally intended. I’m not trying to be an a-hole here, just trying to live my life safely and exercise my legal ability to pedal at speed on a marked bike path I’ve been cycling on since I was a kid.
