Taking to the Road - Vietnam on Bikes

• Exploring by cycle or motorbike is quick becoming
  a trend that not just appeals to the healthy
  youth prepared to knapsack, but to a bigger group
  of travelers who wish to go deeper, and in a more
  authentic method, in to a country. Vietnam tours
  are special in this aspect, as the nation boasts
  over 30 million bikes and numerous bikes.
• Despite the rough roads and rather undependable
  public transport, the nation is incredibly bike
  friendly. This is something the brave and daring
  cyclist can make the most of. Exploring on a
  motorcycle can also be an excellent excuse to
  linger at your preferred beach, or possibly
  invest a night or 2 at that hotel you have
  actually been reading so much about in Hanoi.
• Why a Bike?
• Browsing through the streets of Hanoi and Ho Chi
  Minh might seem like a nightmare, as Vietnam
  truly has a few of the worst traffic in Southeast
  Asia. However your bike (motor or cycle) will
  quickly press through the traffic and you will
  easily have the ability to find great parking
  spaces all around the city. When travelling more
  afield on Vietnam trips, lots of buses and
  ferries permit bikes to travel, which makes it
  easier for you once you arrive at your chosen
  location.
• Cycling is likewise a fantastic solution for the
  thrifty traveller who wants to stretch the funds,
  and perhaps check out the nooks and crannies of
  cities or traveler spots. Depending upon how much
  time you have, on a bike you can press in a few
  "off the road" sites along with the regular
  tourist areas encountered on Vietnam Cycle
  Tours.Motorcycles and bikes are incredibly
  cheap to buy, rent and maintain here. It appears
  every corner has a bicycle or motorbike repair
  shop, although you may be surprised at what they
  make use of to repair your tyres!
• How To Do It
• Renting bicycles in Vietnam is cheap - but be
  warned, the locally made bikes might as well be
  made of dreams, they break so easily. Invest your
  money in a Chinese bike and insure you hire from
  a reputable company. The easiest way to go is to
  bring your very own bike, but be wary - high tech
  features (like your meter or your drink slot)
  might be stolen even if the bike itself is
  chained up.
• For motorcycles, if you are lucky, you may end up
  with a Honda or a Vespa in fantastic condition.
  Make sure you know how to inspect your motorbike
  and how to negotiate (read, nag until the prices
  go down). Westerners, although respected and
  favored, can expect higher prices.
• You can also look for Vietnam trips that offer a
  cycling or cycling in the itinerary. You will
  certainly be guaranteed amazing views and the
  vitality of the sun on your back and an open
  roadway before you.
• Some Safety Pointers
• Regardless of whether you are biking or on a
  motorbike, ensure you use a helmet. See to it
  your motorbike or cycle has a working horn, as
  well. You will need it to get through the chaotic
  traffic of the cities and they can also be handy
  on the open roads.
• Finally, make sure you always have access to
  clean drinking water. Store some purification
  tablets in your backpack or bring mineral water
  with you.
