Portland to Pier Fries: A Bike Ride

Portland to Pier Fries MAP

A bicycle that runs on Pier Fries?  Impossible!  It can’t be done!

Defying all physical laws, we bring you this loopy ride from Portland to Old Orchard Beach.  And back.

Download a printer-friendly PDF of the map.

It’s the scenic route, featuring:

  • Views of the Fore River - Can’t get enough of that bridge.
  • A door that goes nowhereJust for kicks, I suppose.
  • Higgins Beach - A surf spot in the classic tradition.
  • Scarborough Marsh - The world’s greatest salt marsh.
  • Beals Ice CreamTwo words: Almond Buttercrunch.
  • Bayley’s LobstersIf Pier Fries aren’t enough for you.
  • Tacky trinkets - Maybe pick up a new handlebar ornament?
  • A Ferris WheelJust like a bicycle wheel, only bigger.
  • 17 miles out.  13 miles back. - Prime numbers.  Whoa.

Here are some more photos.  And some further explanation, if you like.
