The 2016 City of Sandy Bike Map
This map was developed through a partnership between the City of Sandy and Clackamas County Tourism & Cultural Affairs. Print it out online using the link above, or get a hard copy at any of the Bike Friendly Businesses in Sandy. You can also get a rain and tear resistant copy at Otto's Ski & Mountain Bike Shop (38716 Pioneer Blvd), Sandy Bicycle (17390 Smith Avenue) , the City of Sandy Recreation Department (38348 Pioneer Blvd) and the Sandy Historical Museum & Visitor's Center (39345 Pioneer Blvd - ask counter staff for waterproof version).
The Sandy Bike Station
Located behind Sandy City Hall (39250 Pioneer Blvd - right next door to Joe's Donuts) at the Council Chambers entrance to the building, the Sandy Bike Station was completed in June of 2016. Another partnership between the City of Sandy and Clackamas County Tourism & Cultural Affairs, this installation contains a Dero Fixit bicycle station complete with common repair tools and a heavy duty tire pump for making adjustments to your bike on the fly. Clean restrooms, a video-monitored lobby and a refrigerated water fountain with a bottle fill spout are also available during regular business hours right inside the doors of City Hall for your convenience. Additional City facilities in Meinig Park right behind City Hall include water fountains at the first bridge and the gazebo, and restrooms in-between the main stage and the gazebo. These facilities are available 7 days a week from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm from mid-March through the end of October.
For riders in need of repairs beyond the scope of the Fixit station, both Sandy Bicycle (503-826-1070) and Otto's Ski and Mountain Bike (503-668-5947) have certified bicycle techs on staff and would be happy to assist.
Ride Oregon Ride's Find a Ride
This concept for this tool was developed by Travel Oregon from the creative energy flowing from the Oregon Bike Summit several years ago. The site is intended to be an online epicenter and repository for cycling information in Oregon. Enter "Sandy, OR" in the location field and de-select all of the ride types except "road rides" to see some of the more popular road routes in the region, including the Historic Oregon Trail Tour, the Lolo Pass Loop and the Sandy River Ride.
