One aspect of your commute that non-Seattleites won't realize is that your commute path isn't through pedestrian intensive areas. Once you are out of Fremont that is.
Now if they had just flattened Queen Anne when they did Denny you'd have a straight shot. Which side do you go on?

I used to live in Davis, CA, where the Segway would be perfect. The entire city is littered with bike paths. Davis has 48.8 miles of bike lanes and 49 miles of bike paths. More than 80 percent of all streets within the city have bike lanes and/or bike paths. This is the highest such ratio of any city in the country!
If only I hadn't moved to Sacramento, I'd be able to justify buying one (to my wife)... darn it!

It was this reason that some theorists projected changing cities with respect to sidewalks, etc. If it takes off, I can see that being the case, but I think too many people don't work where they live and this will never happen. Not to mention it is hard to replace a $200 bike with a $5000 motorized auto-balancing scooter that kids can't do tricks on.
I can see the cottage industry of HT mods coming now. HT snow chains. HT off road tires. HT reinforced weldings for mountain bikers that can't behave on their HT.
in seattle, most people drive, there aren't many people on the sidewalks here, which means it's just me and bike folks really.
i take it right over the queen anne hill, while some of the folks i know on bikes need to walk their bikes up that hill, i ride right over, here is my commute:

the universe is a funny thing, it seems that there's always balance, the last 2 months have been both the best and worst months, mother nature gives and takes like nobody's business.

Does this mean the animated today screen thing is scraped for the holiday vacation? Now that you have a new toy to be busy with?
