The Best 200 RMB I've Spent in China


200RMB is just about $33 US.  I originally knew I was getting ripped off for this used bike, but it has paid for itself 50 times over this year.  Beijing is flat as a pancake and this bike gets me to the pool, to the subway station, to the grocery store, etc.  It's a junker but I've put some money into it.  I got the BIG basket and had the chain replaced and new tires put on.  The previous owner spray painted some funky colors on it as you can see and the seat has gold thread in it.  That's how I spot my bike when it's parked amongst a sea of bikes.  I've grown immensely attached to this bike, moreso than any car I've owned, except for the Ford LTD station wagon, aka Lucinda.  I think its time to name my bike.
