They're out to get me.
I've been stung by bees three times in the last 20 years during a ride. This is where it gets weird, it's happened twice in the past 3 months. The time before, I was riding down on the Green River Trail which is where I got stung this time. The ride was good, I took the Light Rail to SoDo. Not having to fight your way back up through what will turn into rush hour traffic makes the ride better.
One thing to note about the Light Rail system. There is a rack for bicycles (two per carriage?), but deeper section rims may not fit into the rack. On the way down I had to hold the bike upright and out of the way of other passengers. On the way back I could let the air out of a tire and put the bike on the rack. I think it's supposed be with the bottom tire down, but I couldn't let air out of the front tire because of the valve extender.
