Urgent pls!!! Where can I get a bike in Riyadh?

Hi Alisan,Welcome If u find it pricey,u may get it from Expatriate.com ,go to Riyadh Section.There r plenty of 2nd hand machines with pictures.
May be u find something in your range

Alisan,

Where you planning to ride???  Only place I've heard of is the DQ.  You've heard me bitch about my compound before--would you believe women are not allowed to ride bikes here?!?

I see so many Bangla Deshi car was guys riding bikes all over town. We once bought a bike for our houseboy who lived a few blocks away and didnt have trabsportation for SR 300

look for "hiraj bin qasim"

youll find it there somewhere, you'll need to do some walking though.

What is that place, Salman, and where is it located?

Remember that women have to pay for cabs/limos and if something is way across city, it can get expensive.  Example:  from my compound to IKEA is 50SAR each way!!  A few trips like that per week and there goes the budget lol

if your actually paying that much, your being ripped off big time.

I've told you about that place before haven't I?

its in south of riyadh, would cost around 25 SR by taxi if your in olaya, so add 10 sr extra if your in further north from there.

ask any taxi guy "hiraj bin qasim, he'll know sright away.

Thanks for the tip but I don't want second hand just something good in shape & price.

I'm not familiar with that, but here I've seen women ride bikes. So all you have to do is move to the DQ & we can both enjoy nice late afternoon rides together, how about that?

Hmmm! I doubt my husband would want to drive there esp in the week end when it can be REALLY crowded but thanks for your help, at least now I know one more place to look at!

trust me, it's "weekends" when you want to be there.

hhhhhhhhhh

We bought the bike from AL FALAH Sport Stoire which is located on Riyadh Olaya Thalatheen Street

Thank you Musicman.
