Pro Tips
- 1.Arrive early in the morning (right when they open at 9 AM) to get first pick of bikes and beat the crowds on popular routes
- 2.Book your bike rentals ahead during summer weekends and holidays, as they often sell out of certain sizes and trailer attachments
- 3.Bring your own helmets if possible for a better fit, though rentals are available - also pack sunscreen and layers as coastal weather changes quickly
- 4.Ask staff for their recommended family routes - they know which paths are flattest and safest for kids
- 5.The shop also sells clothing and beach gear, so you can grab forgotten essentials or souvenirs during your visit
Best Time to Visit
Visit on weekday mornings during spring or fall for the best weather and fewer crowds. Summer is peak season with beautiful conditions but busier trails, while off-season months offer quieter rides though weather can be unpredictable.
What to Know
Open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM year-round. Rental prices vary by bike type and duration - plan to return bikes before closing time. Street parking is available nearby on Hemlock Street, and downtown Cannon Beach with restrooms and dining is just a short ride away.
Seasonal Notes
Open year-round, but spring through early fall (April-October) offers the most reliable weather for family bike rides. Winter months can be rainy and windy, though the shop remains open for hardy adventurers. Summer weekends are busiest, so reserve ahead.
Nearby Eats
Stop by Sleepy Monk Coffee Roasters for pastries and hot chocolate after your ride, or grab fish and chips at Driftwood Restaurant & Lounge - both are family-friendly and within easy biking distance.
