See Angkor Via Bike
In the LA Times News From Around the World section, I found out that the Cambodian government has started offering 300 battery-powered bicycles for tourists to rent while visiting Angkor archaeological park, in an effort to reduce noise and pollution. It sounds like a great way to get around.
The bicycles rent out for $4 per visit during the daytime. There are 14 repair stations within the park where tourists can have bicycles fixed or have batteries recharged during the tour.
Battery-powered bicycles boost the rider's pedal power, increasing speed and making uphill climbs easier.
