This month’s featured bike store in Thailand is Velocity. Velocity is located on the north side of moat in the old city of Chiang Mai. The shop is situated on Manee Noparat Road between the Chang Puak gate and Wat Chiangyeun.
In previous issues we’ve told you about the great weather and destinations that the city and province of Chiang Mai has on offer for cyclists. Now we’re filling you in on some of the great bicycle shops in the area. Velocity is a shop that definitely caters to the road bike and fixed-gear fanatics in the North of Thailand. Frequent patrons may have noticed that the shop has recently relocated a few doors down from its previous location. Regardless, the new location is hard to miss as the bold white storefront stands out against its surroundings.

Once inside the shop you’ll be hard pressed to ignore the vibrant multi-colored parts hanging from the walls and displayed on multiple showroom bikes, pleasing the eye and discerning tastes of Chiang Mai’s growing community of fixed-gear and ‘messenger’ crowd. Building custom fixed-gear bikes seems to be the shop’s specialty. While the majority of showroom bikes are new from manufacturers such as Bianchi, Fuji, and GT, it is not uncommon to see a few used bikes on consignment at the shop as well. Proving their commitment to the cycling community and to the trend of singlespeed and fixed-gear bicycles, Velocity was a sponsor of the first ever Chiang Mai Cycle Messenger Championships, held September 12th. Stop in and support a shop that promotes great cycling events like this. Happy riding!

Shemer, Depending on what cycling clothing you are looking for, you’ll most likely need to visit a few shops in Chiang Mai. A few top choices would be Anek, Bicycle Addict, Cherry Bike, Four Heavens, Jacky Bike, and Velocity.

Hello Cycling Freinds =)
I be planning to bring my single speed bicycle to Chiangmai around mid October this year.
I would like to do some light cycling around the old town and if possible some coffee plantation and camp there.
Could you recommend me ideal location for me to ride and camp?
My bicycle gear ratio is 48T front chainring and 18T (maybe 20T) on the back wheel cog, Will I be able to make it on those hills there?
Thank you.
