FAT IS WHERE IT’S AT! aybe you don’t want to don spandex and fly along next to traffic on the Bay Road on a road bike. Maybe you don’t want to hurtle downhill and climb muddy obstacles on a mountain bike. If a cushy, easy, and fun ride on the flat beach is more your speed, and really, it should be everyone’s speed at some point, head over to Bike Newport and rent a fat tire bike to ride the beach. Bike Newport has a fleet of fat bikes to rent for children and adults. You can rent a bike at the shop on 6th Street and ride directly from there to Nye Beach. That’s where the fun begins. “It absolutely feels like flying,” says Bike Newport co-owner Daniella Crowder. The fat tires are ideal for sand, whether you want to ride on the flat, compacted beach near the water or in the dunes. The wide open spaces on Newport’s beaches and the vast sight lines mean that riders of all skill levels can ride without fear of running into anything. More adventuresome riders can try tricks and jumps, using obstacles formed by logs and rocks on the beach. “I’ve explored coves and remote stretches of beach on my fat bike that I’ve never been to on foot,” says Daniella’s husband and business partner, Elliott. “Just a few months ago I discovered a waterfall in South Beach that I never knew was there.” Fat bikes can be ridden on mountain biking trails and pavement, too. Elliott Crowder loves his fat bike so much that he has essentially given up riding his mountain bike, which is saying a lot for a bike shop owner. Ready to join the fun? You can rent fat tire bikes at Bike Newport any time the shop is open for $20 per hour or $50 for the day, and take them wherever you’d like. They have adult and kid-sized bikes, but the fleet size is limited so be sure to reserve early. BIKE NEWPORT Location: 150 NW 6th St. | Phone: (541) 265-9917 | bikenewport.com PHOTOS BY JEREMY BURKE
