With a carbon fiber road bike it's not difficultphuketrichard wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 5:57 pmYou bicycle at 35 kms an hour>>> fuck are you super fitandy_morris wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 5:16 pm I've cycled most of the highways in Cambodia and at 35km/hr +/- feel pretty safe. Many locals on motos appreciate that you are going at it pretty hard as you can often keep up with them. Car and van drivers are less sympathetic but still, rarely had any too close for comfort experiences. It is often partly my fault too as going from high speed (for a road bike anyway) to tight, slow traffic past a market area causes impatience or frustration, and a keenness to get back up to a good speed.
Bokor is a different animal. They do regularly overtake on the hairpins going up and down. Absolute idiocy pretty mu h guaranteed every time.
for how long?
on my 18 month bicycle trip thru se asia, back when i was fit an crazier than i am now, i probably averaged 10 kms/hour

Re: Bicycles/motor bikes on country highways
I did 40kmh once on my 70s racer back in ** down a very steep hill and crashed at the bottom because my brakes failed.
But I still did 40kmh.
