Any update on bicycle rentals?

Are there paths or tracks that are safe to ride upon (either in HH or nearby)?

To be honest, almost anywhere can be dangerous so you have to keep your eyes peeled for any and all risks. Keeping away from the main roads takes away a lot of the risk, but always be on the lookout for somebody pulling out without looking or going in the opposite direction to the given way. The forum sponsor would be a good start for hiring a bike.

Thank you for the feedback and advice. Given that there's no safe paths to ride on out of town it might be safest to give it a miss. Cheers!

I don't know if your living in HH already, but either now or when you are here, just take the opportunity to survey your local area to see what the roads are like. I go for a 10km ride most mornings on relatively quiet roads although the route means I have to cross Petchkasm road twice, but have never felt close to having an accident.
