We have been cycling in Chiang Mai for years with great pleasure. First with the beautiful routes of Etienne Daniels and now independently with the large bikes of Fokke van Egmond.

Yet I always thought it was dangerous because at the time motorists hardly took cyclists into account. Now it seems that after Rama 10 was seen on a bicycle, cycling fever has also struck in Thailand.
