I am an adventure racer and avid cyclist moving to Doha in January. I am also an intermediate bike mechanic bringing tools and a bike stand with me. I ride trails during races and a cruiser for fun. I assume a mountain bike would be quite useless out there unless I can get a coed team together for the Abu Dhabi 2010. I have never ridden a road bike, but I have always said I'd get one. I am guessing now would be a good time.
Is there a decent bike shop there to get parts, cables, lube, tubes, citrus degreaser, etc....
Is a mountain bike totally useless there? (IE, donate it to my current team and buy a road bike instead?) Though, I have been wanting one, just couldn't convince my wife I needed another bike.....
Is there anywhere in town to ride with my boy? (Other thant he corniche)? He's on a BMX and I'm rocking an Electra cruiser.
