There is a wide range of routes where only cyclists can go.

Cycling is cool

Dress, equipment and safety

Ride in groups of two or three, and never alone.

Wear a helmet and sunglasses.

Respect the temples by covering your shoulders and knees.

Have solid, water-resistant shoes.

Have enough water and snacks with you.

As in the tropics, the darkness falls suddenly, make yourself visible.

Mountain bikes – the better choice

Before you rent an ordinary bicycle, look for a mountain bike: it is more comfortable, especially on bumpy roads.

The size must fit.

“Mountain bikes handle the notorious potholes like a dream, and I could outrun most scooters and tuk-tuks.” (J.H.)

Find your routes

My advice: Stay a week or more.

Book a Temple Talk (with comprehensive information for cyclists).

On the first day with Bakong and Banteay Srei, you go by car and the following days on two wheels.

Make your choice:

• On the walls of Angkor Thom
•
• You can drive inside Ta Prohm and Preah Khan.
•
• Hidden temples north of Angkor Thom
•
• Find more routes with the Angkor Map
