There's a great cyclist inside you too – and we can help you find it.

In the beginning, cycling was a challenge to be conquered, a mountain to climb, a speed to reach, a down-hill to do, or a distance to travel. But through the years, cycling has become so much more; it has become an outlet for stress, and a way to meet some really awesome people

If you're reading this, you likely love riding your bicycle. And when you love something, you try to share it with others. But convincing non-cyclists to ride a bicycle with you usually leads to two outcomes, and they're both not so good.

When you ride a bike all the time, it seems easy – and it is. Still, there lots of little things you do without thinking about them that are difficult for the non-cyclist. I'm talking about just getting on the bike. Have you ever set out for a ride with a new cyclist, only to turn around halfway down the block to see your partner still struggling like an amorous terrier trying to mount a reluctant Labrador? And once he's on, he can't get off. In the meantime, you find yourself looking back every few minutes to find him. It's like walking a house-cat on a retractable leash. This is not fun for you or the cat, so basically you've ruined cycling for your friend instead of turning him on to it.

The other possible outcome is even worse. We may not be doing anything special by riding our bikes, but we sure like to believe we are. We try to convince others of this by boring them with tales of our “epics.” The worst thing you can do is invite one of these people to ride with you, because not all new cyclists are helpless. Actually, some are at an advantage because they don't know when it's supposed to be hard. Then when they get up that “epic” climb with relative ease, they wonder what you've been bragging abut this whole time. They lose respect for you and you become bitter and disillusioned. You may have created a new cyclist, but you've ruined it for yourself. Nice going.

Sharing something you love is human nature, but humans are bad sharers. True sharing requires patience and humility.

We created Bike Thailand so people with the human need for sharing can find a place to share and find friends, even maybe a riding partner.

Cycling to me is one of the best ways to maintain my individual fitness goals. To do this solo is great, but to do it along with other individuals having this same goals is even more enjoyable.
