FunCycles Cannon Beach: A Legacy of Fun Since 1980
Our Story
It all began in 1980 with Scott, the visionary behind FunCycles Cannon Beach, who set out to offer an exciting new way to explore the stunning Oregon coast — through funcycle rentals. Over the years, the business expanded to four locations: Cannon Beach, Seaside, Manzanita, and Rockaway.
The journey started with the iconic “banana peel” bikes — the same trikes we still use today, though with slight design updates. These bikes, featuring a bright yellow seat adorned with a playful banana peel design, became a beloved staple. We’ve preserved some of the original memorabilia at our store, and we look forward to sharing it soon on our website and social media platforms.

FunCycles rental fleet
Riding a funcycle or bicycle along Cannon Beach is undoubtedly the most fun and exciting way to experience this breathtaking stretch of coast. With its wide, expansive beach, Cannon Beach is an ideal place for cycling adventures.
In the beginning 2000s, Steve, the second owner, introduced cruiser bikes and fat tire bikes to the rental lineup at Family Fun Cycles, which later became FunCycles Cannon Beach.
Today: A New Chapter
On July 1st, 2024, the business entered its third chapter when Ian purchased FunCycles Cannon Beach, carrying forward its rich legacy while adding fresh new ideas and exciting features!
Ian’s love for funcycles goes back to 1991, when he first experienced one during a visit to Oregon. He rented it from Mike’s Bike Shop — a memory that stuck with him. Fast forward to 2023, Ian and his wife, Laura, rented funcycles together during a visit, and that’s when the idea of taking on the business began to take shape. After a casual conversation with the previous owner, Ian felt the spark of possibility. Soon after, he knew he was meant to continue the tradition of spreading joy through fun, memorable experiences.
