Preparations

Soksabike guide Chettra preparing bikes for the tour

What you need to know to go on tour

• The tour is 30km long and takes approximately 4-5 hours depending on the cycling pace of the group.
• Take a water bottle, which you can fill at the Kinyei office before departure (our tour guides carry spare water in case you run out).
• Wear sunscreen, as it can get quite hot and you’ll be out and about for half a day in the sun.
• Bring extra spending money in case you would like to purchase goods from the local producers we visit. We encourage supporting the local economy through purchasing products as opposed to donations.
• You will need to wear clothes that cover your shoulders and knees, as Soksabike believes it’s important to be sensitive to the Cambodian culture when you will be a guest in peoples homes.
• For safety purposes we ask that everyone rides single file when in more built up areas but once we are in the countryside you can ride 2 abreast.
