General Questions

Can my kids ride with us?

Absolutely! At the moment we have trikes or funcycles for children 4 years old and up. Kids less than 4 years old may ride in a trailer which is available for rental and may be attached to any of our adult bicycles (beach cruisers and fat bikes), and funcycles.

Do you rent E-bikes?

City of Cannon Beach regulations do not allow the rental of E-bikes, and Oregon State Parks do not allow riding on the beach with motor vehicles unless you have a vehicle permit. E-bikes are categorized as motor vehicles due to their power and speed as described in Oregon laws (ORS 801.258).801.258).

You are allowed to bring your own E-bike to ride on the streets, but not in the parks.

Do I need to be fit to ride on the beach?

The short answer is "no". It's important to understand however that riding on the sand, even the hard pack sand, requires more effort since there is more energy loss and friction.

Another factor to consider and likely the one to be most mindful about is the wind. Winds will slow bike and trike riders down a lot. The good news is, this is not a race. You are here to have fun, laugh, and make it back to your room full of good memories and joyful moments. If you have to fight the wind, take your time. Accept the fact that you might not travel at the same speed against the wind versus riding with the wind in your back.

What is the difference between a trike and a funcycle?

They are both the same thing. We mostly use the term fun cycle. Fun cycles, trikes, or beach cycle all refer to the same three-wheeled beach bikes that are available for rent at our store.

Do you only carry funcycles?

No. You have many options to choose from:

  • Beach riding: fun cycles, beach cruisers, fat bikes and Mobos
  • Street riding: beach cruisers and fat bikes
  • Beach accessories: beach wagons, beach games, toys, and kites.

Planning Your Visit

How does your schedule work?

We essentially follow the tides cycle. We normally close during high tides - more or less 2 hours on each end of high tide. High tides flood the beach and cover the hard sand, what we commonly refer to as "the dark sand", where trike and bike riding is at its best. We may open at high tides for our clients to access our retail section, and to rent bicycles to ride on the streets of Cannon Beach.

When planning your visit in Cannon Beach it's helpful to account for the tides cycles. Many activities rely on the tides, high or low. Surfing for example is usually better closer to high tides, while shellfish are usually more accessible during low tide. Fun cycles and bikes need the hard pack sand revealed at low tides.

Review our schedule

Can I reserve online?

At the moment, we do not offer online reservations or rentals. We operate on a first-come-first-serve basis. We do carry over 100 bicycles and trikes and rarely run out.

Do you have parking on site?

We have 2 parking spaces in front of the store reserved for 10-minute parking. Free parking is available across the street in the city's public parking. You may find parking on the streets, but make sure to look at the signage to avoid parking in no parking areas.

Swytch Kits

Do you carry Swytch bike conversion kits?

FunCycles Cannon Beach is an official Swytch kit reseller. We do not carry much inventory. We mostly order on demand as there are many variations to account for when ordering a kit namely:

  1. Wheel size
  2. Rim color
  3. Model of the kit you wish to purchase

Do you service Swytch kits?

We can help identify the source of a faulty Swytch system, but we do not perform "repairs" on the kit. We can make adjustements, often times the problem is related to an alignment issue between the magnetic crank wheel component and the Swytch sensor.

Can I order parts through FunCycles Cannon Beach?

Yes. As a reseller we have access to most non retired Swytch parts and components. We will need the model of your Swytch system - ideally a photo of the system to assess what components used or your system, which part you wish to order and your contact information. We ask that the order be paid in advance before ordering the part.

Can you install my new Swytch kit?

Yes we can. You can bring your bicycle and Swytch kit to FunCycles Cannon Beach in Cannon Beach, Oregon. Please make sure to schedule an appointment ahead of time.

How long will it take to receive my order of new Swytch gear?

Once we have received the information required to place an order along with the payment for the order, we normally have a 7-day window to receive your new Swytch gear at FunCycles Cannon Beach.

You can either pick up your kit at our shop or we can arrange to ship the kit to you.

How do I order a Swytch kit?

Please contact us to provide us with the information required (wheel size, wheel color, and Swytch Kit model). Since Swytch Kits are ordered to specs and each order is unique we ask for the payment before we order the kit.

Payment can be processed in store or online with a payment link.
