Bicycling Resources
Port Townsend was named a Bicycle Friendly Community in 2008 by the League of American Bicyclists. Port Townsend and Jefferson County are very accessible by bicycle with miles of dedicated bicycle lanes on streets as well as off-street trails. The convenient bike racks on the front of Jefferson Transit and Clallam Transit buses greatly expand the range of areas reachable by bicycle.
- Bicycling Maps - The Port Townsend Bicycle Association has a large number of maps for biking routes throughout East Jefferson and East Clallam Counties. Free printed copies of their maps are available locally at bicycle shops, visitor centers, and outdoor stores. The PTBA also sponsors scenic community bicycling tours.
- Bicycle Rentals
- A range of bicycles (mountain, road) available for rent by the hour, day, or week. A good way of deciding what type of bike is right for you.
- Bicycling Tours
- PT Guide lists biking trails (Larry Scott Memorial and Olympic Discovery) and touring courses and events (Adventure Cycling).
