Rediscover the Carefree Joy of Summer

Why the Name Summer Feet?

Summer Feet – Maine Coast Cycling Adventures was born from the nostalgia of carefree summer days along the Maine coast. As we adapted to the freedom of summer, we embraced the rhythm of the season, perfecting our bare-footed exploration of the shores and woods. Inspired by these experiences, I combined my love for cycling with Maine’s natural beauty to create Summer Feet, offering unique cycling trips that blend youthful adventure with adult comforts—beautiful rides, charming inns, delightful restaurants, and friendly guides, all designed to let you move at your own pace and fully enjoy the outdoors. I hope that you will join us.

Many Happy Days,
Norman

“There are no accolades sufficient enough to capture how incredibly pleased we were with our Summer Feet Cycling experience! Each day offered fabulous exposure to the coast of Maine. The trip exceeded our expectations in every way. Deep appreciation for the Summer Feet team and all of the attention to detail they give to planning and offering such an extraordinary trip. We enjoyed the Multi-Sport in Penobscot Bay option which included biking, hiking, kayaking and sailing. Highly recommend it with no hesitations.

“My two daughters and I did the Pedal-the-Coast self-guided 7-day tour in Maine June 2025. It was completely wonderful. Bikes were in excellent condition. The Ride-with-GPS instructions were spot-on, and each day's rides were well-described in the guide. The lodging accommodations were first rate. Needless to say, the Maine cost was gorgeous, and Acadia Park was spectacular. The SummerFeet staff were terrific at all stages of our tour, from the pre-tour preparations to the last day airport drop off. We've been on several self-guided tours before, and this was the best.

Our Summer Feet cycle along the Maine coast was glorious. In early September, we had perfect weather. We cycled along breathtaking views. Then we caught our breath in quaint Maine towns and fishing villages. Each evening our luggage was waiting for us at a charming inn, where we were served breakfast before heading out the next morning. The Summer Feet staff were friendly and efficient. We will hope to plan another Summer Feet trip soon! Pedal The Coast

Multi-Day Cycling Tours in Maine: A Complete Planning Guide
January 30, 2026

At Summer Feet Cycling, we’ve been sharing Maine by bike for over 25 years. We’re a small, family-owned company, and cycling isn’t just what we do — it’s how we connect people to this place we love.

Over the years, we’ve learned that most guests don’t start by asking which tour to book. They start by wondering if a multi-day cycling trip is right for them at all. How hard is it? What do the days feel like? Will it be fun — or feel overwhelming?

This guide is here to answer those questions honestly, so you can decide with confidence.

What Is a Multi-Day Cycling Tour?

A multi-day cycling tour is a bike vacation that lasts more than one day and explores an area by bike. You ride scenic routes during the day, stay in hand-picked inns at night, and wake up ready to ride again the next morning.

The logistics — routes, lodging, luggage transfers — are taken care of, so you can focus on what matters: riding beautiful roads, exploring coastal villages, and enjoying the rhythm of life along the Maine coast.

Why Maine Is So Special for Multi-Day Cycling

Maine is a place that rewards slowing down — and cycling lets you experience it at just the right pace.

Here’s why it works so well for multi-day bike tours:

  • Quiet coastal and back roads

  • Short distances between villages and harbors

  • Working waterfronts, islands, and lighthouses

  • Incredible local food and welcoming inns

  • Cooler summer temperatures make riding enjoyable

This isn’t about racing from place to place. It’s about noticing the smell of salt air, watching lobster boats head out in the morning, and ending the day somewhere you’re genuinely happy to put your feet up.

Is a Multi-Day Cycling Tour Right for You?

A great fit if you:

  • Enjoy being active, but don’t want to feel rushed

  • Love scenery, local food, and small towns

  • Want structure without feeling like you’re on a conveyor belt

  • Care more about the experience than the mileage

Guided vs. Self-Guided Cycling Tours in Maine

We offer both guided and self-guided multi-day tours because different people travel differently.

Guided Multi-Day Tours

  • Ride with a small group and experienced local guides

  • Daily route talks, support, and encouragement

  • Shared meals, stories, and camaraderie

  • A great choice for first-time multi-day guests

Self-Guided Multi-Day Tours

  • Ride at your own pace

  • Carefully planned routes and luggage transfers

  • Independence with support behind the scenes

  • Ideal for couples and confident riders

How Challenging Are Multi-Day Cycling Tours in Maine?

This is one of the most common concerns we hear — and an important one.

Most multi-day tours include:

  • Daily mileage: typically 20–40 miles

  • Terrain: rolling roads rather than long, sustained climbs

  • Pace: relaxed, scenic, and unhurried

E-bikes are available on many tours, which allows riders of different abilities to enjoy the trip together. The goal isn’t to push limits — it’s to finish the day feeling satisfied, not spent.

What a Typical Day Feels Like

A day on a multi-day tour has a natural rhythm.

  • Breakfast at your inn

  • A morning ride with scenic stops and stories along the way

  • Lunch in a harbor town or coastal village

  • An afternoon ride or optional extra miles

  • Evening at a comfortable inn, often within walking distance of dinner

Days feel full, but never frantic. There’s time to ride, time to explore, and time to simply sit and take it all in.

Our Multi-Day Cycling Tours in Maine

We offer over twelve multi-day cycling trips in Maine. These are a couple of our favorites.

  • Maine’s Gold Coast
    My idea of what a perfect week in Maine should be. It explores and Acadia National Park and Camden.

  • Pedal the Coast (Self-Guided)
    Perfect for independent travelers who want flexibility, thoughtful planning, and full logistical support without riding in a group.

Each itinerary is built from years of riding, listening to guests, and refining what truly makes a great cycling vacation.

Ready to Explore Maine by Bike?

Choosing a multi-day cycling tour is about finding the right balance of activity, comfort, and discovery. Whether you’re just starting to explore the idea or already picturing yourself on the coast, we’re always happy to talk things through
