Life in Laos - The life of a bicycle world traveler stranded in Laos & everyday life in Laos
The new rail link from China (Kunming) to Vientiane, Laos was officially inaugurated on December 3rd 2021. It’s the first fast train in Laos’s history - called "Lane Xang Train", named after the former Lane Xang (Million Elephants) Kingdom. The railway section in Laos runs from Boten via Luang Namtha, Oudomxay, Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng to the capital Vientiane.
The day after the opening, I wanted to take the opportunity to go on a weekend trip to Vang Vieng with my buddy Jaypee. So we packed our bags, loaded them on our bicycles, cycled the dusty road to Luang Prabang train station and started our journey.
Well, unfortunately our travel plan didn't work out the way as we wanted ...

The train used in Laos is the same as the high speed train in China, which is similar to the ICE in Germany. But one of the differences is no one has the need to carry bicycles on board therefore no specialized carriage for them, only passengers with normal luggage. For those who want to ride bicycles in combination with train it's very easy to get these ride sharing bikes, they are everywhere in China. But for Laos buses/subways as connection to the city is better.

Well, we had the need to carry our bicycles and I'm quite sure there'll be more people in the future with the same need. I don't think that you've to be specialized to carry them. I think a bicycle is also just luggage like any other item. And in fact, now I found out that you can take a bicycle on the train if you put it in a box or bicycle transportation bag. Like on an airplane. Unfortunately there are no shared bicycle stations in Laos.

@@derekwampum8861 Why not? The CRH in China runs at a top speed of 350km/h. It takes the fastest option about 4.5 hours to go from Beijing to Shanghai (1300km), which means the real world speed is about 290KM/h. The ICE in Germany runs at top speed of 300km/h. It takes the fastest option about 4.5 hours to go from Berlin to Munich (580km), which means the real world speed is about 130KM/h. The train in Laos the same as CRH train in China.

Plus, I have used this bag before and I can think of at least two practical problems: 1. its designed for sport bikes with quick release wheels as you have to take off the front wheel to fix into the bag. Do Lao people ride fancy sport bikes with quick release? Any bigger attachment such as a basket will also not work. 2. Once you arrive at destination. Take the bike out of the bag ready to start riding, where do you put the big bulky bag?

Then go through customs in Mohan to Laos.

Did you get your bicycle with you..?

@ChrisFritze 2 жыл бұрын

No I didn't. You can't bring your bicycle on the train unless you put it in a box or bicycle carriage bag.

@@ChrisFritze Böttcher Fahrräde？ It seems like a German firm, I saw your tires were Giant and thought your car was Giant, so its my fault. It looks nice, but In mainland China, I have not find any info about your brand. If it's Giant there's plenty here

@@weiyeelau7887 Yes, it's a German bicycle manufacturer. Only my back wheel is from Giant. I needed a new one and that's the best I could find in my current location. Usually I'm using Schwalbe tires.
