I do this every morning and evening in Hanoi on a bicycle. It's a crazy rush. No close brushes with death either!
I've been riding a motorbike in Saigon for about five months now; I wish I could say that there have been no close brushes with death, but that would be a lie. Still, it's a great way to experience the city and it means that your logistics are always pretty tight unless it's raining. The main thing to remember if you decide to ride a bike here is that anything in front of you has the right of way. You have one job: don't hit whatever is directly in front of you, and don't worry about what's behind you. Use your horn liberally. And stay away from the buses as best you can; they own the road and they drive that way.
