thanks!
for cool shopping factor, stay in the section called 'the old port'
it's right on the working waterfront. cyclemania is close to that.
they may rent bikes for ya.
bike shops
cyclemania, hard core roadies
back bay bike, everything....start here. they are on forest avenue
allspeed, hard core mtb
look up all these shops on google and mapquest...
gorham bike and ski, asswipes, stay away
ride along the coast starting in downtown portland and cross the bridge
to south portland and work the coastal roads all the way to old orchard beach.
one nice scenic ride. check out lighthouses and whatnot.
cape elizabeth head light is one cool place to ride and fly a kite
or frisbee
