[kwilco]

Anyone know where a cycle tour office is in Chiang Mai?.

Need to organise a walk in tour for a small mixed sge group.

Make sure everyone has insurance and last wills and testaments.

Funny but true

Mountain bike or road bikes?  Or, just a guided tour around the rice fields on granny bikes?

Well that's why I want to so to a place where e can see the bikes and talk to the owner/manger - I want to find something suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities but prob

 

ably more than a "granny tour"

Why are the renters murderous?

While nobody is premeditatedly murderous, many motorized road users end up being so, mostly due to poor driver training and attitude.

I regularly see groups cycling south along the busy road next to the river with pickups and trucks flying past, and wonder why they think the inhaled pollution and risk to life and limb is worth it.

It is a reply to the quoted post.

[kwilco]

seems that no-one can answer the OP.

While I wouldn't venture out on the roads here on a bicycle, there are many that do, but then, they live here, know the score and are aware accordingly.

Check out channel 32 or 34  - there are always examples of horrific Thai driving..........

If you required responses within 24 hours you should have stated your urgency.

24 hours? Where did you get that? Still no answer though.

you clearly have a very prejudiced view - racist even? - of Thai driving.

THe question is not about road safety, it is about visiting an establishment in Chiang Mai that does cycle tours.

THere are a few online but I need one with a REAL customer interface - I'm not prpared to take some web site's glossy promises as gospel.

What I was hoping for was someone who knew where. "Cycle tour office" was rather than some gossip about road safet or time limitis - can no-one actually answer the question?

 

I guess it's down to someone who lives in Chiang Mai or has been on a cycling tour there.

Others need not apply.

prejudiced view - racist!    on average 60+ people die on Thai roads every single day - fact! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate

Do the tours include a gas mask?

[Tedly]

I remember seeing a YouTube video of a guy named Joel who is an avid cyclist that did a tour with a company. I'll try to find it and post the name, but the one he went on was long. like 100km I believe but they also had a shorter version at 60km

[Wanderer555]

I have never used a tour group in CNX but sometimes join local group gravel bike & mountain bike rides.

 

Gravel bike routes use both modified road bikes and mountain bike with many routes available that do not require man highway riding. Routes are available for all ages and skill levels. 
 

These routes are more scenic, relaxed and safer 😊.

 

The North has a very active biking community with some tours available through bicycle shops and tour groups. 
 

Enjoy

Internet search gives many answers, why don’t you use it instead of spreading your rudeness here

Trailhead in the old city probably has the most comprehensive range of tours, and bikes

[Hanuman2547]

Contact spiceroads.com as I believe they have an office in Chiang Mai.  They are based out of Bangkok but have done a lot of tours of all types in the Chiang Mai area.

Yes, that's the company I was thinking. Spice roads tours 

[Foek]

https://chiangmaibiking.com/chiang-mai/

 

Flat tours for all ages, small groups , bigger groups on request. 

 

Give them a call first as the owner might be out on the bike if you just walk in.

 

Good luck
