I went on a bike ride in Vietnam a couple of years ago (Saigon to Hanoi). This is a great country to visit. The scenery is beautiful. Food and lodging are very cheap. The locals are very friendly. Roads are somewhat iffy, so don't bring your lightweight racing bikes. This is a somewhat large and populous country. Most tourists stick to the coastal highway north of Saigon. If you really want to see the country, make sure you also visit the Mekong delta and inland mountains as well.
