LINCOLN CITY BIKE TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Sand, Surf and 4‑Inch Tires: Riding Lincoln City’s Shoreline on an Extra‑Small Fatbike
A shop‑based fat‑bike rental (Extra Small, for riders 5'0"–5'4") from Safari Town Surf Shop that puts you on Lincoln City's seven-plus miles of beach; this guide explains what to expect, what’s included, routes, and rental rates.
Sand, Surf and 4‑Inch Tires: Riding Lincoln City’s Shoreline on an Extra‑Small Fatbike.
Fat‑tire bikes turn the Oregon Coast into a new kind of trail: four‑inch tires that cruise over sand and rough terrain make it possible to pedal right beside the Pacific ocean. In Lincoln City, where more than seven miles of shoreline await, a shop‑based rental shifts you off narrow coastal highways with little shoulder and onto broad beach sand — a simpler, safer, and strangely restorative way to explore the coast.

Four‑inch tires built for sand
Fat tire bikes in this fleet use four‑inch wide tires designed to roll over sand and rough terrain, letting you ride right on the beach instead of risking narrow coastal roads.
Lincoln City’s shoreline at your speed
Lincoln City offers more than seven miles of beach to discover; cruising beside the waves is a vivid coastal experience that many riders describe as immediate and surprisingly childlike.
A safer coastal option
Where Oregon’s coastal highways often have little to no shoulder and present real hazards for cyclists, these beach‑focused rides get you off the highway and onto sand.
What the day feels like
What the ride feels like
The flow here is uncomplicated: rent a fat bike at the shop, roll down the access and onto wide stretches of sand, and let the oversized tires smooth out rough sections so you can keep company with the surf. It’s a workout that feels like play — riding next to the Pacific with waves breaking at eye level is an impression that tends to linger.
