Whenever you need a break that includes sand, sun, sea, and small-town charm, point your compass toward Massachusetts and the crashing waves of the Atlantic. Once you’ve decided on Massachusetts, zero in on Provincetown and the Cape Cod National Seashore. There is plenty to see and do. The historic town was established before cars, so narrow streets and little parking make biking a great option for getting around and enjoying the area while being in the middle of it all. Hop on a bike provided by Gale Force Bikes and explore the many bike paths near Herring Cove Beach. Annual biking season is April to October.

Tours

Take a bike tour with a knowledgeable, local guide. Tours are offered in conjunction with the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies on Thursdays starting in late June and through early September. The tour starts at Gale Force Bikes and winds 8-12 miles through hilly terrain on a 2.5-hour excursion. Learn about the local flora and fauna of the second-oldest public lands in the nation, as well as early settlers. Bring your own bike or rent one from Gale Force Bikes before departing. Reservations required.

Accessories & Parts

Extra baskets, racks, ride-in trailers for the little ones, and even pet-friendly trailers to tow your fur babies are available to make your ride everything you hoped for. If your bike needs a tube, new wheel or tire, or something else, you’ll find it. Prepare for a day in the sun with gloves, sunglasses, protective eye wear, and even clothing.

Beach Market

Fuel up before heading out. Stop in and shop the market and deli for sandwiches, wraps, beverages, ice cream, picnic supplies, and even beach items like towels, bathing suits, and beach toys. (Only open Memorial Day through Labor Day)
