Was in Nam for 3 weeks in January, only cycled in the countryside a couple of times, with a guide...
Rules of the road are pretty nuts. Basically if you're bigger than the other traffic you can use the wrong side of the road to overtake whenever you want (so long as you hoot your horn of course). The long-distance buses do this most of time. Even on corners.
A few of my city pics at random... mostly just scooters as usual... yeah at rush hour it was much worse
On the plus side I imagine pedaling out in the countryside would be pretty sweet, and most people are very friendly.... maybe look into touring the Mekong Delta? (nice and flat)

Or cycle from Dalat to Hanoi? (hillier!)
