The Experience
Before You Go
Helmet and basic repair kit
Always use a helmet and carry a pump and spare tube — punctures are common on gravel lanes.
Start early
Begin rides before 10:00 to avoid heat and busy market traffic in the old town.
Choose the right bike
Pick a mountain bike for dirt roads and a city bike for narrow paved streets to stay comfortable and safe.
Bring local currency
Small vendors and rural stops may be cash-only, so keep lek on hand for snacks and water.
