Quick Question:

Any other people out here into cycling or take part in any organised rides

Just interested to know of any routes for 50-80Kms avoiding any potential death traps....(Nissan Safari's, blacked out windows) around AD

Im concerned about the safety aspect.... but i have do have a adequate helmet

I cycled everywhere in London, and I really miss it. However, there is absolutely no way I would consider cycling on the roads here. It's just too dangerous.

thanks for the tip, ill just scrap the 2K bike i have bought based on that

Its not too dangerous at all, its all about finding the right route..

the dubai group cycle from Jumeriah to Nad al sheeba and around there every week and i dont recall any fatalities

Madam Medusa

there also is a new cycle path on jumeirah public beach if you're ever back in dubai...seems pretty good but i don't know how long it is...

Have you tried contacting Wolfie in Dubai to see if he has an equivalent in AD?

shakh your bootie

There's a cycle path all along the Corniche - no danger from traffic there. No idea about a cycling club, despiaca.....

MataHari

just start your own club....

There are a group of cyclists who are always cycling out near the airport (well, on their way towards Al Ghazal Golf Club) early on a Friday morning (about 7am ish).
I pass them on my way to golf, there are probably about 20 or so, and they look like they know what they're doing.
I used to do triathlons in UK and toyed with the idea of joining them, but haven't managed to get up the courage yet.
So, if you're ever out of bed at that time, take a trip and see if you can meet with them.
They seem to go past Officers City area along 30th, and then off the slip road towards Al Ghazal. Where they go after that, i've no idea.
Hope this helps - good luck

(well go and see how fast they go before comitting myself)

There are lots of kiwis(Etihad staff) in KCA&KCB who ride out along Al Gazal .I am sure if you post ADW way,you will soon be hooked up with loads of cyclists.
Also there is a triclub in AD (or used to be)...............
