Seattle - Bike commuting ?

Hi

I am flying into Seattle on business next week (arrive Sun) and it occured to me to use a bicycle to get around for the week. I was thinking it would be good for my body, and the env and all that.

For all the talk about the environment, it sure is difficult to arrange such a mode of transport. No businesses seem ready for clients like myself. I've seen web sites for bike retal companies there with prices up to $300.00 a week. One place was much better at $95.00 for a week, but they are far from the airport, and not open sundays, so I'd have to use a cab to get to my hotel Sun, then cab over to the bike shop mon, and then back again from the shop on Fri.

Bike rentals at the airport - a business plan for someone maybe ?

Is there anyone familiar enough with Seattle to tell me, is there some alternative I should explore here ? A co-op, or cimmunity bike program ?

Also is there a pedable route from Kent to downtown ?

Thanks.
