some of the best cycling in Vietnam is Marco Polo Vietnam Travel

This tour includes biking, boating, visiting some cottage industries, gardens, floating market and locals.

Cyclists are a diverse group. Some of us are fat tire ride down a rocky path, some of us ride a road bike up the hill and bustle, some of us ride for sport and some of us just ride for fun.

There are many health benefits associated with cycling. Let’s look at some key benefits: Cycling is one of the easiest ways to exercise you can ride a bicycle almost anywhere, at any time of year, and without spending a lot of money.

As far as I know, cycling locations with lots of good trails and scenic spots are rare in the Vietnam.

And maybe that?s the reason why most cyclists hit the busy streets just to fulfill their heart?s desire.

Riding a bike is good for more than saving the planet and your hard-earned cash. It’s also one of the most effective workouts you’ll ever do. Here’s how it can make you a lean, fat- burning machine.

Riding a bike is a fun way to get fit and spend time with family and friends. Because it is a low- impact form of exercise, cycling can easily be enjoyed by people of all ages and fitness levels.

When to go:

We were there in February, when clouds often smother the hills and

temperatures hovered in the 50s and 60s fahrenheit. Vietnam is a country

of microclimates, but the best months in the far north are probably March

through June, when sun is common.September through November are

cooler, not as wet as midsummer nor as cold as winter.

Riding: There are several enticing rides that we didn’t do in the area,

including one up to the Chinese border.You could easily spend five days

based in either Meo Vac or Dong Van and do a different mind-blowing

ride every day. The road between the two towns is one of the most spectacular stretches of road on Earth.

Guides:

Marco Polo Travel offers cycling tours in Vietnam with trips in the Ha Giang region and other areas of Vietnam,including Hanoi to Saigon rides. Perhaps the most alluring is a

mountain-bike trip through northern Vietnam that uses dirt trails to connect villages.

On your own:

Buses are available from Hanoi to Ha Giang, where you will need a special

permit to continue deeper into the province. It would be possible to ride

here self-supported on touring bikes, but the constant steep climbs would

require Herculean fitness, distances between towns are daunting, and

decent campsites and surface water are hard to come by. That’s assuming

the police and military who patrol this “frontier area” wouldn’t lock you up for even trying.

Bikes:

We has many quality mountain bikes but if you expect perfection

— the derailleurs were somewhat misadjusted, one of my Dad’s brakes

went out a few times, and my brakes were reversed (right lever controlled

the front brake) — you should bring your own bike. He also rents a variety

of mountain and touring bikes.Cyclocross bikes with strong wheels

or stout touring bikes would be perfect on the roads in Ha Giang.

Maps:

The best single solution for serious navigation is the Vietnam

Administrative Atlas from the Cartographic Publishing House, which shows all of the country’sroads. They’re based in Hanoi and the atlases, as well as a variety of other more and less detailed maps
