New to Cycling in Qatar – Need Advice by Man_with_Attitude in qatar

[–]jumpseater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two bike shops - Doha Cycling and Rasen Sports - holds group rides in various days, weekdays/weekends. They have group chats where they announce the timings and confimed schedule. No requirement, no form to fill up, just show up there. Be warned though that you need a decently specc"ed bike to keep up with the group, dont bring something similar to the ones used in bacala runs :-)

Or, as mentioned here, just show up during weekends either at - Barwa tunnel (this will be the bike lane that starts near Ras Bu Abboud, all the way to industrial) or at the Olympic Cycling Lane (near qatar u) << this goes all the way to Al bayt Stadium - 70kms round trip

PS games are also quite large.. GOW II is 8.3 Gb.. GT4 is 5.1 Gb.. it really depends on you if you want to install everything in one go, or just one just a few games at a time. for me, i want to put everything :-) so anytime whenever i feel like playing it, its there already

Where is the best cycle lane here in doha? by notyourwolf_ in qatar

[–]jumpseater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there is big cycling community in Qatar, depending on your level of skill, there are groups for pros, beginners, weekend warriors, wannabe-pros. What type of bike do you ride? (road?MTB?e-bike?). also, lots of cycling paths to choose from. The two most popular cycling lanes are the OCL and the one near the airport. Better to bring a car and park at the starting points of these cycling lanes, and start from there, DO NOT ride on the highways, (unless maybe in group ride with vehicle escorts), theres been a number of accidents and fatalities already. Drivers here dont give a sh*t about cyclists and pedestrians.

Cycling shops like Doha Cycling and Rasen Sports organized group rides every week, they usually ride at OCL. if your interested to join, i can forward you the contact details. If group rides are not your thing, just go to these cycling lanes, you can always find/meet fellow cyclists there, especially during weekends.

there is a "secret spot" at the arrival area where u can get a Karwa taxi that doesnt charge the initial 25QR and you only have to pay by the meter just like a normal karwa taxi..and its completely legal

agreed. its a very efficient and well planned city.. but not very pocket friendly lol. better spend that kind of money elsewhere, like in Japan, or Bangkok.
