Oregon: The Land Cyclists Dream Of

Oregon offers riders a big ol’ slice of bike heaven – it’s pretty much the perfect place to pedal. Start with a variety of stunning scenery you can ride through. Not to brag, but we’ve got it all. Strands of sandy beaches set between coastal capes. Roaring rivers and placid streams. Massive stands of old-growth forest. Majestic mountain passes. Ancient rock canyons. Rich agricultural land. Oh, plus Crater Lake National Park, one of the most picturesque riding spots in the world. And you can see it all in Oregon, from the seat of a bike.

Now let’s talk about the culture. From bike-crazy Portland to friendly towns all over the state, you’ll feel welcome as you traverse our roads and trails and bike paths. And you’ll enjoy a richness of bike resources. Example: Oregon hosts more than 4,000 races, rides, events and tours a year. A bunch of our state parks set aside special campsites for bikers and hikers. And you can find maps of designated cycling routes all over the state, including the nation’s first designated Scenic Bikeway, the legendary Oregon Coast Bike Route and more. We make it easy to have a great ride in Oregon.
