You meet at 8:30 a.m., the city still rubbing sleep from its eyes, and by 9 a.m. the group rolls away from traffic lights into a quieter Bangkok where canals dare you to follow them and narrow concrete paths slip between wooden homes. Shade from roadside trees cools the handlebars; markets and orchards appear like chapters in a street-level history book.

Start early and fit your bike
