Daily commute by Bicycle: Gios Compact Pro

The cycling in Phuket, Thailand, is world-class. When I lived in Phuket, I rode my bike to work each day, rain or shine. It was a refreshing way to start and end the day. It provided me with balance. The ride took me through the rubber tree plantation, down by the beach, up some aggressive hills, dodging chickens, water buffalo's, stray dogs and scooters along the way. I would stop to buy some delectable breakfast treats made by local food vendors, and as the sun rose over the crest of the mountain and the warm morning sun hit my face, I was certain I would never have a better commute in my life. This is that ride.
