A seaside oasis of outdoor recreation, San Diego County’s northern-most coastal town attracts large numbers of visitors every year. One of the most popular activities is cycling, with the long promenade offering scenic Pacific views, soothing ocean breezes and plenty of photo opportunities along the way. If you’re coming to Oceanside and would like to rent a bike during your stay, here are three local companies we’d recommend.
