    Just found this wonderful web site this morning and very happy that I did. I'd like to return to China after the summer for more travels, this time by bike rather than by bus, train and plane.
    I'm in Japan and will come to Shanghai by ferry then start looking for a bike and arranging a licence etc.
    I'd be happy to join in on other rides or hook up with other riders for parts of the trip.

    Reminds me of the guys who rode from Shanghai to London back in 1994. That was the ride report that started me thinking of riding in China. >>

    Remember, this was done in 1994!

    Thanks Slabo, I read their story a couple of months ago, an amazing adventure and testament to the spirit of just giving it a go and see what happens. Also read another huge adventure story by a young Brit called Nathan Millward.

    Yeah, I read about Nathan. I first read about him and Dorothy on advriders .. But looking at his site again I see he has passed trough China, on his own bike!!!! I'm trying to confirm this.. poling around to see how he did it.

    He went via Pakistan taking the shortest possible route through China to keep the costs down. From memory he hooked up with a couple of other riders and they had a travel specialist organise the visas and escort.
    I ended up buying his book through Amazon for my Kindle and have been in touch with him since then. Last I heard he was in Sydney selling the book and looking to get another bike for another trip.
