Omgggg how beautiful is this! ❤❤❤

Haha, that piece is pretty steep! Haven't been there yet this dry season..

Good job on the jerseys Luis! Look great should be a nice time of year for the climbs. Enjoy!

Luis, I would buy the new jersey if it were made available.

Great custom jerseys- well done!. How long will they take to complete the loop?

I saw this shop last week. It looks very nice. I found it when I was having coffee across the street, at Cuppacharm Cafe ☕️ Also a great place. Best of luck.

Impressive. Can I ask kg and watt?

For someone new to the cycling world, would you recommend just buying a premade bike or trying to go this route, to save money and customize? I actually live really close to this shop in Hang Dong.

I want to join one day. By chance do you have any videos or tips on finding a good bike for Chiang Mai? The shop's websites are difficult to sort through what is a good deal, what is actually available for someone my height 182cm. I'd like to keep it under 80,000 baht, but I understand you get what you pay for and I will likely want to upgrade at some point, so can be persuaded to spend more or less.

Amazing 👍

Hello, are there any recumbent riders in Chiang mai?

I am surprised at the title. I live in Spain and wanted tested your theory about this place. Been here for 3 weeks, i may add some of own comments. 1) weather is great for nov- january butbbalance of the year could be a gamble 2) roads are worse than Spain. Spain has probably the best and lots of km available on flat or hills. I live close to Valencia and have done many place in Spain. I just travel from Cambodia border to Chang Mai. Travelling in the country can be very nice but be aware of dogs. Using the main roads could be dangerous but useful at times because fewer roads are available. 3) food is great in ChagMai but it takes time to f8nd decent restaurants, dont be attracted because of cheap prices. I love meat, so fewer choices 4) cycling culture. Finding a group is needed but usually involves hill rides because other roads around and in the city can be hazardous, lots of traffic lights and roads are very bumpy. 5) if you like hills, there are few but lets not compare to Spain which has lot more to offer. 6) the air quality in ChangMai is the worst in the last 3 months. I biked in Japan, south korea and Cambodia. Now when i walk or bike in around t,he city, you MUST wear a mask, otherwise your health will be impacted. 7) lots of coffee shops but always mentioned no sugar, no soy milk, no condensed milk, no syrup otherwise prices are good and decent

fuck yea.... always good to hear

I did that about 25 years ago on a mountainbike. It was in February. No Servicetruck and waterbreaks. Only one liter of water that i did carry with me.

Serious question... Is there alot of dogs around?

Love it

Unbelievable, you can read Thai; it surprised me. Anyway, Nan is one of some provinces that I think they are fascinating for cycling. Thank you for very inspiring video 😊

Great video, Luis. Thanks for sharing 🚴‍♂️🚴🏻🚴‍♀️

น่าสนุกดีจีงครับ

Another epic day of 8% climbs? 😉

I love Nan in the ‘winter’! Pua is also a nice little town to use as a base, it gets you closer to those epic hill climbs.

Just an average Joe Gravel biking at the weekend. 100kg and age 62 attempted this climb whilst in CM but failed miserably, got about half way. Oh well, back to the bar for a Leo😊

I just see this video now! :) At the moment im on 982 rides up Doi Suthep, so my guess is it will be mid January im going to hit 1000 :)

Man, what an inspiration!!!

I would never use that kind of bag. I've got a soft bag, but both sides, the front and rear, have inflatable sacks that I pump up, and when inflated they create a high pressure balloon around the entire bike, and if you press on the outside you just bounce off. Ive used it going to Europe with zero issues.

36t on the cassette for the 8% hills of Thailand?

Always always always travel with a hard case bike bag 👍 👍 Seen 3 or 4 bikes arrive here and other places in that exact same bag all with cracked seat stays, guy travelling from Australia coming here to race had to lend him my Cervelo so he could race. Another friend travelling from Canada to Italy exact same seat stay cracks. With the price of bikes these days crazy not to fork out a bit more to protect your bike properly IMHO. Hope it arrived home in one piece 🙏 🙏 🙏

The problem with that bag is that it doesn't protect the bars/shifters/wheels/frame from side impact. There's a brand (based out of Columbia of all places) called TripTico that do a similar bag but fully protect the bike frame/bars/wheels from side impact with spacer bars. I actually travel with a hard sided (corflute) box on roller-casters that I have made an internal aluminium frame and axle mounts for -it fits the bike, two sets of wheels, tools and all riding clothing etc (packed complete with everything is just under 32kg so within the weight rules). My preference getting to Chiang Mai is Thai Lion Air and Scoot as neither charge an oversized luggage handling fee. Keep up the videos as I enjoy seeing northern Thailand rides when I'm not there.

I was in Chiang Mai december 2022 and is wonderful place for cycling (and i am from Mallorca in Spain)

I have size 56 Lynskey Legacy, its so easy when you get lighter in smaller size

WHy you breating so hard? it doesnt look so bad...lolol

Thanks for the inclusion Luis, see you in Feb hopefully and deffo want one of your new jerseys, sick!

Which coffee shop was this? Do you have any other cafe recommendations?

Hi Luis, I’ve been following and subscribed to your RUclips channel, as my wife and I are planning a quick R&R trip to Chiang Mai during the first week of December. My only chance to try riding Doi Suthep is on December 2nd, between 8 AM and 1 PM. I was wondering if you have road bikes available for rent or if you could recommend a shop that offers road bike rentals? I’d also love to visit your shop to buy one of your Chiang Mai jerseys! Thank you so much!

Very cool! I will come by to get a jersey. You think you will do coffee?

This is great, we look forward to stopping by this amazing location ….stay well

Thats a one nice setup 👌🔥❤️ I made my with Kona Alu frame, 11-32 to 52, disk breaks and carbon drop bar, it is 8.5kg rides smooth as hell 🏄🏿‍♂️🏄🏿‍♂️🏄🏿‍♂️ Keep it up! 💪💪💪

Great vdo!

I life in nanถนนหมายเลข3

What was he eating (5:42 in left hand)? What are some good snacks for cycling in Thailand? Thank you.

I'll join sooon, Luis.🚵‍♂️🦵💥😎.

One critical note :: Historically, in March and April, Chiang Mai has some of the worst air quality in the world due to the burning season. The region also sees a fair amount of flooding during the end of the rainy season. For ideal cycling conditions, consider booking your visit Nov thru Feb

HI do you do cycling tours? I plan on being in Thailand in July 2025

Great video and invite Luis🎉

Look join you end of October will try to hang on ☀️👍🚴

I love rim-brake road bikes ❤

I hope you guys will continue the group ride until I go back to Thailand next year 🤩 will definitely join

It won’t be long until I join the Sunday morning Doi Suthep ride 🎉🚴🏻.
