This summer, Sun-E-Land Bikes teamed up with the Bellingham Tourist Bureau and Hotel Scoop writer Carolyn Heller to show some of the sights, sounds and natural beauty of Bellingham, WA. Carolyn is from Vancouver, BC and has traveled and written about different hotels, restaurants and points of interest of cities around the world.
This summer, Sun-E-Land Bikes was chosen to give her a 2 hour bike tour of the parks and trails and some of the history of Bellingham, Fairhaven and WWU as well as the downtown area. We were excited that several members of the Bellingham Tourism Bureau were able to join us on our ride as we cruised along the waterfront on a beautiful September afternoon.
Our ride started from the Portal Container Village and cruised along the water to Boulevard Park. From there, we rolled down the South Bay Trail to Fairhaven for views of Lummi Island and the Gulf Islands in the distance. After a short break at Marine Park, we traveled up to Western Washington University. WWU has an extensive outdoor sculpture collection as well as views of downtown Bellingham, the Canadian Rockies and San Juan Islands.
As we explored, the 200 acre campus, Carolyn took notes of artwork, newly constructed buildings and thousands of bricks laid out to create the gathering area at WWU known as Red Square. During the summer and school year, many performances, rallies and festivals take place on campus right here in heart of the campus.
Our last leg of the tour took us from campus through Downtown Bellingham along the newly implemented bike lanes that safely help vehicles and bikers navigate the intersections. On this beautiful afternoon, the shops were filled with pedestrians and the weather was a perfect 68 degrees. At the end of downtown, we headed south back into the Portal Container Village to complete the trip. As we parked out bikes in front of the shop, we had to decide weather we wanted to celebrate our ride with beers from Kulshan Brewing or ice cream from the Selkie Scoop. Tough choices to make after another amazing ride!
Thank you to the Bellingham Tourism Bureau and Carolyn Heller for joining us on this amazing day!
