bicycle shops
Below is a list of the most professional and well-equipped mountain bike
shops in Chiang Mai. If you have any comments you'd like to share about these
bike shops, or if there is a shop you think should be added, please contact
us.
Bike Zone
Bicycle shop opposite the Chiang Mai University main entrance on Huay Keaw
Road, on the right heading west toward the zoo.
There's not a great choice of bikes or equipment, but they might have what
you're looking for and you might pick up a deal.
If you are in the Chiang Mai University area, this is your nearest shop and
will save you a trip into the city. They have recently halved their shop
space so looks like the shop may not be around for much longer.
Chaitawat
On Prapokklao Road, south off Ratchadamnoen Road, on the right after crossing
Ratchamankha.
A Thai-Chinese owned shop and one of the first. They have been in business
many years and have become technically proficient in recent times. All round
Chiang Mai's best stocked bicycle shop and in general the best prices.
Jacky Bike
Turn left off Maninopharat Road and it's on the left opposite Chiang Phuak
market. A very well presented bike shop with lots of beautiful bikes and
bicycle parts. Probably the first place to look if it's fancy 'gear' you're
looking for.
Song
Follow Moon Muang Road north to the corner of the moat, swing left into Sri
Phum and it's on your left. Not as well run or stocked as Chaitawat, but
a good alternative if the latter haven't got what you need. A good place
to pick up a cheap new bike if you're only around for a short while and don't
need anything too good.
Top Gear
Half way down Chiang Moi Road, look for the striking blue and yellow on the
right after the Thai Farmers Bank. Top Gear is a Canadian-owned mountain
bike shop, generally recognized as having the best tools of all the bike
shops in Chiang Mai.
Velo City
Next to the Rimping Superstore and the Novotel hotel on Chotana Road. The
Rimping is one of the best supermarkets in Chiang Mai for western specialty
food which is a good enough excuse to check this shop out. This bicycle shop
is the place to go if you have a race bike or need stuff for 28" wheeled
bikes.
