These two friends combined their shared love of bikes and fashion to create Attaquer — a functional sportswear brand that’s changing the perception of cycling.

Chiang Mai

"It’s an upcycled hotel, so a lot of the furniture and fixtures had been upcycled from wherever they had found them. I'm guessing the slippery dip was one of those pieces that they found from a different site and decided to install. It was really cool."

The Artel Nimman

"My skewer, which holds a wheel onto a bike, snapped. I went to a local bike store and the mechanic created a part on a lathe; pulled it apart and redid it and fixed it, and it actually worked. It saved my week."

Velocity The Cyclist Shop

"There’s a handful of key climbs in super close proximity to the city. Doi Suthep is one of the closest. It’s 12 kilometers up, so we would go to the top, turn around and come back. It was a short-ish loop."

Doi Suthep Ride

"You're climbing pretty much 2500 meters elevation in what is 35 to 38 kilometers or something like that. And it ramps up and up and up. A lot of people say it's the hardest tarmac climb in the world. There's a really nice temple right at the top as well. It’s so worth it."

Doi Inthanon Ride

"There are probably four or five pretty decent-sized climbs along the route, but it's very secluded, really quiet roads. You hardly see a car, but you can be on the side of the road and see elephants just walking up the street."

Mae Rim Ride

"There was a lady at one of the night markets that was made famous by Anthony Bourdain. She wears a cowboy hat and she just serves one dish: a suckling pork stew thing. She's definitely worth looking out for, for sure."
