Cycling on the Corniche?

Is it the done thing?

Do people use cycles to get about local areas?

Not commonly used but yes, people do use cycles here :)

If your referring to the bikes around the corniche, they are purely for recreational purposes and have a time limit of 30 minutes. Oman is not biker friendly and I would not recommend getting around on a bike..... here is the website for the corniche biking
