Our
Bikes
Marco
Polo has
TREK 4300
and , Giant Yukon mountain bikes available in sizes
ranging from 13 inches to 21 1/2 inches.
On short tours we
include bike hire in the tour price, while on longer tours we
offer bike hire as a supplement in case you prefer to bring your
own bikes.
We use Trek, Giant
mountain
bikes because they are high quality, durable pieces of
equipment.
We like the versatility
and durability of the mountain bike as it has been designed to
cope with different types of terrain and riding. Even on our
road trips, the asphalt can often be broken or potholed, and
there are usually unsurpassed sections included, so mountain
bikes and are the most suitable. They also have the gears to
cope with the hills.

Bikes are not only
available for use during our tours but are also available for
general hire from our operations office in Hanoi.

helmets with all our rental bikes with 1 USD/per day renting.

bringing your own if you are taking a long tour as helmets can
be a personal thing and we cannot guarantee a perfect fit.

bikes come with water bottles, and ladies will get a special 'ladies saddle'. We fit
toe-clips but you might like to consider bringing SPD clip

Why Bringing Your Own Bike...?
There's no
bike like your own, and many people choose to bring their own
bike on our tours. We insist that you make sure your bike is
well serviced before joining a tour, as there is nothing that
infuriates a leader more than a bike in constant need of repair.
Although
we recommend mountain bikes, hybrid bikes and tourers are also
suitable for any tours NOT listed as mountain bike tours. Rigid
front forks are also usually fine on most tours, however thin-tyred
racing bikes are not appropriate on any of our tours. For all
off-road mountain bike tours, mountain bikes are the only
suitable bikes and front suspension is recommended.
Our
detailed fact sheets will contain information on the appropriate
bike to bring for each trip as well as advising you on the best
types to fit.
How taking a bike on the
plane...?
Most airlines will
accept a bike as part of your total luggage allowance - i.e.
your bags plus the bike should not exceed the luggage allowance.
This varies with the airline and the route; as a general rule
the limit is 20kg, but the exact amount is shown on your ticket.
A boxed bike typically weighs about 16kg, which does not leave
much space for your luggage.
Bikes
should be boxed for air travel in order to prevent damage and
some airlines will not carry bikes that are not properly boxed.
Most good bike shops will box your bike for you so if you are
going to have your bike serviced before the tour it may be a
good idea to have the shop box it too.
We cannot
be held responsible for any excess baggage charge, and some
airlines, especially in the US, have a fixed charge for taking
bikes, regardless of the weight.
