 hisham9,

Welcome to Doha.

I think your idea is good,but isn't it better to wait till October , when the weather will be pleasanter ?

I cycle inside the compound I live in. As there are no good footpaths, i don't think cycling on the roads is safe.

Tq for the replies/comments. Just landed in Doha a couple of weeks ago from Kuala Lumpur. Didn't bring my bike along but got my jerseys n stuff, and yes I'm looking for a riding buddy/group to start riding on Friday mornings. And I'm looking for a decent bike shop to get a bike, any info would be helpfull. Btw pls check out www.letua.com to see where I'm coming from.

I think we should start something like they have done in Dubai, because I'm going crazy here with nothin much else to do.

... on a Friday morning by a f**kwit worker who wasn't paying attention.  Hammdullah he will be ok, but it could have been awful.  Too, too dangerous here.  The police didn't care.  Came to the hospital after 4 days, and shrugged.  "He will be deported" they said, as if that were to make up for a broken arm, leg, ribs and a punctured lung...

 

The cooled bike path isn't happening.  It was a hypothetical for the corniche.

I've only cycled once here, and even then I took my bike over to Aspire to get away from the lethal traffic, unfortunately I wasn't in Doha for the recent Wheels and Heels event, it'd be nice to cycle along the corniche properly.

    If anyone wants to go for a ride let me know.

i'd be interested in this too for when i move to doha. 

 

hisham, i posted a thread about the cooled bike path project but didnt get much of a response.  i dont think that there is much of a biking culture in qatar.  or if there is, i haven't found it.  are you looking for a riding buddy?
