got my bike




cost $30, lock included, biggest size I could find (still on the small size)

I was the first one to ever bring a bike on the 8th office floor - which created quite a stir with the security guard - but got a lot of compliments of my Chinese colleague about the quality (meaning brakes work) and look of the bike (only a few scratches). I paid 215 RMB (= $ 28) for a brand new bike with a decent lock. I only hope it will last 6 months.
I'm a happy biker and I'm planning already a trip through the city this weekend :)

Paul, als je nog eens naar Europa komt, kan je hem misschien meebrengen en er ook eens de Mont Ventoux mee beklimmen? :-)
Proficiat met jouw aankoop!
Er zijn daar niet veel fietsen met versnellingen te zien zeker?

Groetjes,
Michael
