The best cycling track in the world. Bangkok Sky Lane

Right at the edge of Bangkok metropolis lies one of the best cycling facility in the world. Created by AOT and sponsored by Siam Commercial Bank, 'Sky Lane' is a 23.5 kilometres closed circuit cycling loop built solely for cyclists.
To access the track, cyclists need to use their RFID tag to enter (and exit) the gate. The facility opens from 6am until 6pm with solar powered light posts all around the track. It also contains Sky Bridge - a 3 kilometres long overpass bridge connecting from long term car park area right in to the track. The track can be seen from the satellite.
Outside the loop you have a car park suitable for 2,000-3,000 vehicles. The track sees at least 6,000 cyclists per day during the weekend. Toilets are available both outside and inside the track. Guards and medical team are stationed round the clock in case of emergency.
Granted the area is pan flat with zero elevation gain. Nevertheless, in a city where traffic is considered one of the most dangerous and congested in the world, Sky Lane is a god send to all Bangkok cyclists. If you have a chance, try it at least once!
