geovalin Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 The Apsara Authority is constructing a 23-kilometre bicycle trail around the Angkor Archaeological Park to provide safety for cyclists and help reduce traffic congestion on main roads. Apsara Authority spokesman Long Kosal yesterday said ICC-Angkor greenlit the project and 300 metres have been built so far. “Most of our people and tourists cycle on main roads with a lot of cars and motorcycles,” Mr Kosal said. “The Apsara Authority initiated the project for the safety of our people and tourists who cycle.” He noted officials from the Apsara Authority and ICC-Angkor inspected the planned route on Saturday. Yith Chandaroth, deputy director-general of the Apsara Authority, yesterday said the bike trail will mainly be built alongside main roads. “This bicycle route is being built as a lightweight road that does not affect soil layers and is flexible to have small and big trees on either side,” Mr Chandaroth said. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50668112/bike-trail-being-built-around-angkor-park/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred110 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Sounds like you'll need a ticket to Angkor just to use the trail, it would be nice to have a free bike trail somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of off road trails around Angkor, and they bypass the ticket check booths as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't plant the trees too close to the cycling path or after a few years as the roots branch out they will crack the pavement as the roots push the pavement upwards.
