Cycling Siem Reap Countryside

A practical guide to cycling in the Siem Reap countryside, with route, heat, safety and tour considerations.

Why cycle

A bicycle slows the trip down enough to notice fields, villages and small roads.

Heat

Start early and carry more water than you think you need.

Roads

Conditions can vary, so a guide can be useful on routes away from main roads.

Bike type

Comfort and fit matter more than getting a high end bike for a casual ride.

My take

I would choose countryside cycling over city cycling if the goal is enjoyment rather than transport.
