is it possible to rent a bicycle?

Hello
Can anyone advised me please is it possible to rent a bicycle anywhere in
Udon Thani ?

How long do you want to rent it for and what part of Udon do you live?

hi
No i dont live in Udon - i actuallylive in Chiang Mai ( which explains why i like to use bicycles )
I will only be visiting Udon for maybe 2-3 days next month but my host needs to go to work every day
and i thought it would be a way for me to go out and see the city during the daytime ?
I just thought there may be a cycling shop in Udon that may be willing to rent out a bicycle?
I have a nice bicycle here but I don't care about the appearance or age of the one I would rent
there- it can be one of the old Chinese looking bikes if that is all that is available -you know the
tourist style like we see so many of here in Chiang Mai

oh thanks very much seaman. the map I have indicates
Nong Prajak lake is quite expansive? Any idea which part of the
Lake I should head for?

Go look at Nong Prajak Lake on the map again. At the top right, near the 7/11, you will see the word cycle.

Thanks again. I was looking at an inferior map - now i see it

The rental bikes at Nong Prajak are typically for riding around the lake and rented by the hour, 40bt I believe and you have to leave an ID. It may be possible to negotiate long term. Also, the bikes are suitable for a couple of laps around the lake, but not for touring around town.

Another option is to buy a cheap, no-name brand from Big C or Tesco for 2000bt then leave with your host or donated to someone needed.

oh I think I will be okay to go around town on one of those
you would be surprised the condition of the bicycles that tourists use
in the middle of Chiang Mai city

On Soi Sampan (small hotel/guesthouse) opposite Saloon Bar rents a few bikes I think about 60 Baht a day.

oh thanks very much for that information
I can see Bar Berry and Irish clock on the map so is Saloon Bar anywhere near those places?

Saloon Bar opposite side to Irish Clock 2 min walk towards bottom of the soi (walking away from Day & Night) toward Prajak Rd its next to the fenced in area, the hotel is almost opposite.
