Bike Rentals in Paris France

Author: OneEyeGoat Posted: 2012-12-28

While visiting Paris, France I noticed they have a well rounded bike rental program. This has to be the best program as there are rental racks with bikes everywhere. Regardless of the weather they're being used too, rain or shine. On your next trip just plan on I using one of the city's bikes, just put down a 150 euro deposit and have at it, it's free as long as you return the bike:-)

Mae Rim (Thailand) Vistas

Author: Dustin Posted: 2012-01-22

I made a point this weekend to get out quite a bit on my bike, and explore my little corner of Mae Rim, Thailand...  This took me to a couple of my favorite snacking spots (Wawee Coffee Mae Rim @ TITA Gallery, and Baa Baa Bakery @ Mae Rim Lagoon), and it also allowed me to snap some nice shots of the beautiful landscapes around here...  enjoy:

Velo Thailand (Bangkok & Hua Hin)

Author: Dustin Posted: 2011-12-21

On my (ongoing) family trip around Thailand (where I live, and am now entertaining visitors), I found a cool bike shop that has locations in both Bangkok and Hua Hin.  I first noticed the signage, because of the cool logo design... and from there, I went on the hunt for the actual shop.  I first went to the Bangkok location which, despite its small shop size, has a decent selection of bikes and bike parts... AND Bangkok being a bike-able city, they also specialize in bike rentals and bike tours.

As luck would have it, they also have a location in Hua Hin (3 hours south of Bangkok, on the coast), which is already the next city we planned to visit.

My vacation plans didn't involve a bike rental/tour, so I wasn't able to experience their service, but I did score one of their sweet orange jersey/polo shirts - which I particularly wanted so I could sport their simple but cool logo.
