Cadence Cycles on Jomtien 2nd road, will be better quality than other renters

only know CH numchai by name.....but hardly to miss if you check the area

As far as Mabprachan goes:

 

At least 2 rentals at the south gate and plenty more around the Pong stadium on the lake. Both areas have plenty of parking.

Cycling on dog-infested roads?  Check out Death Wish movies.

I think the Backyard Bar on Soi Pothole rents mountain bikes. I know he does tours around town also.

Numchai is a shop practices two tier pricing. Farang pay 20 to 30% more.

Soi Pothole. A lot of them have potholes, of course., but while one is the Soi Pothole? 

Soi Chaiyapoon, off Soi Buakhao, the first soi north of Soi Lenkee. Apparently the reason it’s always been horrible is that it is a private road, not a city road. I don’t know how that works, but there’s another private road running off Pattaya Tai to Soi 17 (maybe owned by the hotel there).

Was at the Backyard Bar today. The ladies present didn't think there was any such service provided, although there were two very decrepit looking miniature folding bikes parked in front of the establishment, good enough to get a normal sized farang to pak Soi, but not much further.

Sorry, he must have given it up.

 

Cycling around town does not seem to be very popular here like it is in other countries like the USA or Europe, a bit more popular up North in Chiang Mai & Chiang Rai.

 

Maybe due to the heat and humidity. It's more just people driving around on their motorbikes.

Soi Chalemphrakiat 25, runs between 3rd Rd and Buakhao Triangle bar, next to and parallel to Soi Lengkhee. It is privately owned apparently so is repaired sporadically, and on the cheap.

This was Sunday. If you get out of Buakhao you'll see a lot more cyclists
