This came out of a bike group I am part of. At least there are plenty of great ice cream places in and around the city.

I probably would stop in Bellevue on a bike ride if it wasn’t so awful and clearly car dependent.

No idea where in the world this is, but in Europe, retailers consistently overestimate the number of customers coming by car. For example, this Bristol study where retailers thought 41% of their customers were coming by car but the actual number was 22%.

Ps: oh, this is a Seattle community, that might answer my first question...
