Pikey what's with the sleeves or should I say no sleeves!!! I hope this isn't just another ploy of yours to purchase a few new cycling kits when you return!!!! Some how don't think this fashion will take off in the cycling circles in Melbourne.
Wade, great job with the photo's looks like it's a wow of a trip. Please keep them coming.

Wade this is all great to read, with super photos, thanks! I spent three months doing research in Hanoi a few years ago and this is bringing it all flooding back. Seeing the cans of Ba-ba-ba and steaming bowls of Pho all lined up… happy, happy days. I bought one of the local bikes while I was living there and spent many an enjoyable evening playing in the rush hour traffic. Busy back street crossroad junctions were the best: choose your line and plough through without meeting anyone's eye, it was the only way to get through unscathed!

Just a little tip, they dont call it the 'Vietnam war' instead it is referred to as “The American War” It's subtle but very poignant

So did the old guy on the steel framed rambler still whip your carbon fibre butt? ;-)

When are you opening up “Cycling Tips Bike Tours”? It would better than most of the other Tour de France offerings touted around the place.

Those sleeves have been crudely torn off. Hardcore.

Awesome stuff Wade.
Do you think that once you get back you could write up a list of things you recommend to take when doing a trip like this?

How are you getting your gear around from point to point?

I once recall a line in CT about sleeveless being 'not Pro'.
In Asia 'not Pro' is to keep them on.
It's amazing how much cooler it is when riding in increased humidity.
Off with the rest of the sleeves lads – guns out ;-)
