Porin metsän fatbike -reitti on helppo ja monipuolinen 7 kilometrin pituinen pyöräilyreitti aivan Porin keskustan tuntumassa. Reitti kiertää Porin metsän ulkoilu- ja virkistysalueella, ja tarjoaa mainion mahdollisuuden fatbiken kokeiluun tai rauhalliseen pyöräilyhetkeen luonnon keskellä.
Reitti kulkee metsäpolkuja ja hiekkateitä seuraten kuntoradan ympäristössä. Vaihteleva maasto pitää pyöräilyn mielenkiintoisena: mukana on kapeita heinikkopolkuja, leveämpiä metsäpolkuja sekä hiekkateitä. Luonnonmaisemat vaihtelevat vehreästä metsästä pieneen lampeen Porin metsän uimarannan läheisyydessä, mikä tuo reitille oman erityisen tunnelmansa.
Reitti on luokiteltavissa helppokulkuiseksi, mutta vaihteleva maasto ja risteysalueiden epäselvät opasteet voivat tuoda pieniä lisähaasteita. Reitti ylittää valaistun pääladun useissa kohdissa, ja GPX-jäljen kiertosuunta voi paikoin poiketa paikallisista kylteistä.

The trail starts at the far corner of the large gravel parking area along Metsämiehenkatu. It is recommended to follow the route anticlockwise. The first section runs on a gravel path towards a small pond near the beach of Porin metsä. Just past the ski bridge, a narrow trail begins on the right, which later widens into a forest-surfaced path. The route continues on the right side of the marked outdoor path on the map.
About halfway, near Pinomäentie road and next to the Katinklubi shooting range, there is a second parking area, an information board, and a public toilet. From here, the trail continues along a gravel road that narrows into a forest path behind the shooting range.
The return section follows the left side of the outdoor path. Near the outdoor swimming pool, there is another information board before the trail leads back to the starting point.
The trail is easy to ride, with varied terrain including narrow grassy paths, forest trails of different widths, and gravel tracks. Signage at intersections can be unclear, and the GPX track in the leaflet shows the opposite direction from some of the on-site signs. The route crosses the illuminated main ski track on both sides.
