The Hanoitimes – Visitors from home and abroad are interested in cycling to enjoy the beautiful nature. In fact, there are more and more clubs gathering a large number of cyclists.
Emong Group, established in 2009, has 50 to 60 active members and often organises short and long trips. The group will celebrate its sixth birthday by cycling to Kim Boi hot springs in the northern province of Hoa Binh on May 10 and 11. Information on the trip is available on the forum at www.emong.org.
Besides, Couchsurfing Hanoi has held various bike tours to tourist destinations in provinces near the capital to Co Loa Citadel in Ha Noi city’s Dong Anh District and Phat Tich Pagoda in Bac Ninh Province. On May 11, they will cycle to Tho Ha pottery village, which is located in Bac Giang Province, 50km from the capital city.
Truong Van Phuc has travelled to the northern provinces of Viet Nam by motorbike with his friends many a time. However, a 15-day bicycle trip from Ha Noi to Ca Mau, the southernmost point of the country recently made the 24-year-old fall in love with cycling.
Borrowing a giant bike from a friend he met on Facebook, Phuc replaced the old or broken parts, and prepared the itinerary and expenditure for the journey.
The Thai Binh-born packed two sets of clothes, a repair kit and backup inner tubes on the back of the bicycle, and headed south with his friends.
For him, this journey was an opportunity to see the beauty of the country and meet locals in every place he set foot in. Phuc chose the itinerary based on his personal interests.
