On May 11, they will cycle to Tho Ha pottery village, which is located in Bac Giang Province, 50km from the capital city. 
Truong Van Phuc, one of cyclists, has travelled to the northern provinces of Viet Nam by motorbike with his friends many. However, a 15-day bicycle trip from Ha Noi to Ca Mau, the southernmost point of the country recently made the 24-year-old fall in love with cycling.
Borrowing a giant bike from a friend he met on Facebook, Phuc replaced the old or broken parts, and prepared the itinerary and expenditure for the journey.
The Thai Binh-born packed two sets of clothes, a repair kit and backup inner tubes on the back of the bicycle, and headed south with his friends.
