Beach-Running Fatbikes for Compact Riders: Lincoln City’s Small 5'3–5'8 Model.
On Lincoln City’s stretch of the Oregon coast, fat-tire bicycles turn the beach into a rideable landscape: four-inch tires roll over sand and rough terrain, letting riders cruise beside the Pacific with the surf as a constant companion. Safari Town Surf Shop offers small fatbikes sized for riders 5'3 to 5'8, available by the day for local excursions that begin at the shop and put the shore within minutes.

Four-inch Tires Built for Sand
Fat tire bikes feature four-inch-wide tires that let you ride directly on Lincoln City’s beaches, making sand and rough terrain manageable and opening miles of shoreline for exploration.
Seven Miles of Beachfront to Explore
Lincoln City offers roughly seven miles of contiguous beach that you can access from shop-start rides; the coastline becomes the route, with options to cruise short stretches or string together longer beach runs.
Shop-Start Rentals for Local Rides
Safari Town Surf Shop suggests local rides that start at the shop so there is no need for bike transport—rentals include a helmet and are structured around easy access to nearby beaches.

What the Ride Feels Like
Expect a bracing coastal rhythm: the wide tires smooth the sand, the ocean is audible on every lap, and short, shop-based outings let you be on the beach within five to ten minutes of departure. For compact riders on the small model, the bikes are tuned to let you focus on the shoreline rather than technical setup.
