Push biking in Pattaya

[Moonpig]

Hi all,

I am over in Pattaya for 4 weeks in November, and want the use of a mountain or hybrid bike.

Are there any hire shops or secondhand shops where I could pick one up.

Not needing new but needs to be reliable.

If anyones selling please let me know, I realise it’s a bit previous.

 

Cheers MOONPIG

You could probably hire one from the bicycle touring company Spiceroads Thai

Their depot is in Bangkok, so to get the bike to Pattaya you would put it into a taxi or into the load space of a bus. Bit far to ride and dangerous too! Could ask Spiceroads if they can road freight to your hotel.

Bicycle Thailand may have useful contacts.

I sometimes ride a basic bicycle in the UK but to ride one in Thailand's heat and humidity, is something I would pass on. 

Electric bikes/hybrids will certainly be the future and would make for a good way of getting around Pattaya, with easy parking but night security could be an issue.

I cycle 20km everyday in Pattaya.  Heat and humidity are not often an issue for me.  There's a 'breeeze' resulting from motion.  Strong wind is a slight problem when cycling against it.   

Sun is the main issue I face.  2 hours in sun needs protection against the sun.  Cream or covid mask turned up. Avoid mid-day.

Try “SV Bike” Shop on Thepprasit Road. And There’s a big bike shop on the east side of Sukhumvit Road near North Pattaya (the name escapes me.)

many places rent bicycles also, but those might not be the quality of bike you want.
