I love riding the old farmer roads around where I live. Love it too much to want to load up the bike in the back of the truck and drive somewhere else. Good luck finding a riding buddy and have a great ride.

You should check out Hamburger1 restaurant in bandoo.

Always lots of farang heading into the hills by bicycle.

happy cycling.

good advice Tayto ,

unfortunately active biker Jozef is no longer present there , since he has returned to Belgium with his son, but i am sure Sherry can help you in finding other bikers

ask for Steve or Thorleif

some regulars more like to talk about biking , but maybe they surprise me on my return in a few months

looking forward for a ride

ps : don ' t miss the doi thung event in a few months , anybody an exact date ?

Just a thought, but tayto and flupke went out of their way to be helpful. Sometimes it is nice to respond when you are the OP.

Sorry to hear Jozef has gone back to Begium.

I hope it's only temporary and he keeps in touch.

Thanks for the suggestions. Also, any interested riders feel free to PM me or post your interest here.

The two best bike shops in CR (IMHO ) are Fat Free and Northern Bike. Fat Free is in central CR, not too far north of the Night Bazaar. Northern Bike is about 1.5 km north of the big bridge on the main highway (on the left side) going north out of CR.

Let me know if you'd like more details about how to get to either one.

Happy trails...

Chiang Rai is a beautiful place to ride.

Beautiful photo of dirt road in the hills. We love biking. I plan to ship my road bikes when we relocate to cruise around the villages in our area, although I may put heftier wheels on. Can you get a decent mountain bike in CR for off-road rides? Or should I bring from the states?

I bought my Trek locally but I have no idea what you might consider a “decent mountain bike” so I don’t know how to answer. If you are into 29ers or something specific then perhaps you should bring your own.

nice picture VF ,

yes Chiang Rai is biking paradise indeed , on -or offroad , with blue sky that is

you can find everything from shimano from xtr- dura ace to lower if you want , rest is also for sale but not all brands

no need to bring your own bike unless xl size

29 er no choice of tyres available yet
