Hi auldgeunquers,
This is my family, and we often ride at weekend in countryside. My children go around our building everyday evening and I don't agree about them go on main street by bikes without me.They've ride 6-10 km a days

This morning, I go to work by bike and take some photo about street , where did i go every days. In hight time, A lot of motocycles, any casr, bus and a little of bike go on a street with slow speed, I think 5-10 km/hour

Sometimes, some persons think i'm a stupid, because they can move very fast with motocycles, and will tired if they ride a bike.

I agree with you, in HCM, bikes have been seen a recreational toy and many many alot of people don't want to buy and ride.
Motobikes move very fast and maybe collision anytime with other.Last week, my friend go to hospital because a drunken man collision with him

And this is a pictures, in front of store(BÚN- style breakfast in VietNam) that is sidewalks, Can you see a parking of motorbikes, when the store had more customer. Sidewalks is full with motorbikes. which lane dedicated for bikes?
