Wheelie FUN
Ranked second in New England for bike-friendliness by the
League of American Bicyclists, Maine has a positive cycling
climate bolstered by strong advocacy.
Whether you travel everywhere with
your bike or want to feel the free-wheel-
ing life for a day, Greater Portland’s got
you covered. The League of American
Bicyclists lauded Maine for having an
active bicycle advocacy organization,
running a successful “Share the Road”
campaign, emphasizing bicycle safety
in highway planning, and having a
“safe passing” law. Besides which, the
temperate climate in Maine allows for
comfortable cycling throughout the
spring, summer, and fall.
The Bicycle Coalition of Maine has a
vast set of resources for cyclists on its
website, , and the Maine
Department of Labor’s site, explore-
contains numerous bike
tour options by region. The 35-mile
Casco Bay portion of the East Coast
Greenway route takes cyclists from
Portland’s historic waterfront to the
nearby towns of Falmouth, Yarmouth,
Freeport, and Brunswick. Among other
attractions, the coastline route offers
gorgeous views of Maine’s rocky coast,
an Audubon sanctuary, seaside camps,
and Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park.
What better way to explore Casco Bay
than with a knowledgeable guide?
Summer Feet Cycling offers several
