    Go get to the higher cleaner mountains some imagination is required to avoid a 2 hour plus each way bicycle ride on a highway, motorcycling cuts this to 40 minutes.



    No wider than a three wheeler fully loaded.



    About 800-900 meters in altitude, not sky-high Himalayan peaks but still nice.

    Great initiative and enterprise, ZMC888!

    We've touched on this before, a year or more ago, but I'm curious whether there's anything in China resembling the Johnny Racks made by Cafemotos.

    Nice looking mountain bike "Z"... Avoiding 2 hours of highway smog is probably a wise choice, as cycling in a Chinese city does far more damage to you physically than the benefits of exercise.

    Cheers!

    nice regal raptor. it definatly has the width to be able to carry off such a look.

    perhaps a 20 day tour with a pushbike on the back of your bike could be in order :-)
