Who Would Ride on the Winding Roads of Skardu 🇵🇰?

There’s something special about riding a bike on the roads of Skardu.

The sharp turns, the cold wind, the sound of the Indus River beside the road, and giant mountains all around.. it honestly feels more like a movie scene than a normal road trip.

Some parts of the road are smooth, while others are rough and full of adventure. But that’s exactly what makes the experience unforgettable. Every turn opens a completely new view glaciers, rivers, hanging bridges, and massive Karakoram peaks.

As someone from Skardu, I’ve seen many travelers stop their bikes again and again just to take photos or enjoy the silence of the mountains. The journey itself becomes the destination.

The best thing is that you don’t only experience nature here, you also meet friendly locals, small roadside villages, and the real culture of Gilgit-Baltistan.

If you enjoy road trips, adventure, and mountain landscapes, Skardu’s winding roads are something you should experience at least once in your life.

People pulling onto our street off the main road and pulling u turns to avoid having to wait for the left turn arrow. On any given day you can sit and watch about 10 people in 10 minutes. There are no U turn signs posted too. Idiot on the bike came out of nowhere.

About 2 years ago I’ve been wanting to learn how to ride a bike so bad because I just feel like it would be such a fun hobby and they look super cool. However I am scared because I feel like I’ve been seeing so many videos of car drivers being reckless and causing accidents with bikers on the road… I’m super scared of getting into an accident which is one of the main factors holding me back. Also, I don’t know much about cars and bikes but I’d really be down to get into it, I just don’t know where to start for that.

Courses in Canada cost a lot to get a license (almost 2000 CA$) so idk if I should do it… I just keep on seeing bikers around and I lowkey admire them so much. 🥲🥲Any advice or stories about your own experiences? Have you ever gotten into a bad accident? I’d love to hear about them!

Scooter or bike?

Hi, I’m F20 and so confused between what I should buy. I live in New Zealand where I can drive a moped on a car license (scooters that are 50cc and below) or I could get a bike license and drive a proper one. I’m currently working two jobs and I don’t have a car or scooter (to save up for whatever it is I want). Should I get a temporary scooter to help with commute or should I invest into a proper bike? (3k for a proper scooter with gear or 8-10k for a proper bike with gear)

Qual capacete escolher?

Olá a todos! Estou em dúvida em escolher entre um desses capacetes, poderiam me ajudar? KYT TT Revo, KYT TT Course, KYT R2R, KYT Nz race. Minha intenção é ter um capacete estético, visualmente "bruto" com aquele aspecto "biker", confortável e aerodinâmico. Irei pegar uma zx4rr, estava na dúvida também de um KYT KX1, mas não sei se valeria a pena para um iniciante, pois onde moro ele é muito caro. Braap!
