UPDATED November 9, 2026 BY Guest Author IN Bamboo Road no comments What Makes Vietnam Such A Special Place To Ride Your Bike?Paige Taylor White is the Content Creator on the 2026 Bamboo Road Cycling Adventure.As soon as I step outside the hotel in Hanoi, Im sweating. It isnt the heat alone that gets you, its the humidity. If youve been to or read about Southeast Asia before, this should come as no surprise and since its my second tour with TDA in this part of the world I knew what to expect. I went to my first hot yoga class back home right before this trip to remind myself what Id be in for once I arrived.The hustle and bustle on stage one leaving HanoiIt is one thing to walk around in this kind of climate but its another thing entirely to ride your bike here. Crossing roads on foot feels hazardous at first, and yet I love the feeling of weaving through Vietnamese traffic on a bicycle. Its a flow, or maybe even an art form here to join the sea of scooter traffic which feels like both a whirlwind and a meditation all at the same time.Eventually though, you hit a red light. This is enough to snap you back into reality and remind you how hot it is when not gliding through the world at 20 kms/hour. What was once a warm breeze comes to a halt as a stifling, stale heat. In some ways what makes Vietnam unique is how the heat alone incentivizes you to keep riding a bike. In Vietnam it is a perpetual anything-to-keep-the-breeze-flowing kind of weather (especially if youre from Canada like me).Locals stop and chat in Hoi An as scooter traffic wizzes byIt is also the kind of place where riding your bike in the rain isnt so bad after all. Most of our riders seemed to almost prefer it some days. Of course though, there are different kinds of rain. The torrential downpour that lasts 5 minutes and requires quick cover, or maybe the kind that is a constant trickle while a cloud chases you for 5 hours.Bertie takes on the last few kilometres of a rainy ride with smiles in VietnamBeyond the weather, what makes Vietnam so special is how the locals are friendly everywhere you go. Almost every interaction in Vietnam is met with a smile, from a sweetened condensed milk with a side of coffee, or a quick xin cho from the saddle. Vietnamese people have the kind of warmth that makes room for a meaningful exchange even if you only share the common knowledge of about the same 5 words as one another.Riders say hi to locals after leaving breakfast in a small town in VietnamLandscapes and scenery are also a highlight in Vietnam. This country has seemingly everything from rice fields dotted with water buffalo, karst mountains, tropical rainforests, and sweeping coastal beaches. While riding in Vietnam the road is always varied and full of life that spills over into every lane of traffic. The charm here is endless, and although Im still in the country right now I already know that I want to come back again.RELATEDTOURBamboo Road Many of us have criss-crossed the countries of South-East Asia on a shoestring over the years, returning home with fond memories.

Luxembourg's cycling federation has filed a complaint after its rider, Marie Schreiber, was relegated from first to second at the UEC European Cyclo-cross Championships on Sunday.The 23-year-old crossed the line first ahead of Dutchwoman Lucinda Brand in Zeddam, but was judged to have irregularly sprinted by the UCI commissaires, and therefore Brand was awarded the European title. In the aftermath, Schreiber refused to attend the podium ceremony, describing the decision as "disrespectful".On Monday, the Fdration du Sport Cycliste Luxembourgeois (FSCL) revealed that it had complained to the race organiser, the Union Europenne de Cyclisme (UEC). A statement said: "The FSCL is calling for the race standings to be determined based on the order in which the riders crossed the finish line." The decision lies with cycling's governing body, the UCI, however.Brand and Schreiber came to the finish line together after the tough race, with Schreiber sprinting from the front to what looked like victory. However, the latter was judged to have moved to her left and closed Brand out illegally. "We reviewed the footage and both me and Lucinda said our views," Schreiber said post-race. "Lucinda said I did nothing wrong, she couldnt have passed anyway, so I think its really thankful that she said this, but it doesnt change the commissaires decision."Its a sprint after 50 minutes of all out racing, you come with 190 heart rate, I change my gear, I saw I moved a little bit to the left, but then I think if every person watches the race you know this moving around its normal. I did not close the door on purpose or anything, Lucinda knows this and she also said it."I think its disrespectful to steal the biggest moment of my career just for this because I think for being fair everyone knows I won, if it would have been decided by two centimetres I can argue with them I can understand, but like this I think its just disrespectful to be honest."Her SD Worx-Protime coach and former world champion Sanne Cant told Sporza: "It is the most ridiculous reaction I have ever heard,."It was Brand's second European title, after 2021, and third place went to Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado, also of the Netherlands.
