    Hi all.
    Friend and I are planning a ride from Urumqi to Chengdu (or visa-versa).
    We've got our Chinese CE1 licences - now we're looking for bikes.

    Does anyone know if it's possible to hire bikes in either city?
    We'd looked at purchasing, along the lines of a Jialing for the trip, but that would make it significantly more complicated and expensive than if we could hire.

    If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be most appreciative.

    Thanks kindly!

    Forget the idea of hire.
    Buy a suitable one and have a plan to sell after the trip.
    Maybe u can prepare a deal with someone in advance

    Thanks for the advice. Any forum lurkers from Chengu / Urumqi?
    I'll trawl the forum for tips on purchasing in China, but if you have any advanced pointers, I'd appreciate it, thank you

    Chengduren here. ShuBen is right about forgetting the idea of renting. It's not possible, unless you want to ride a BMW and want to pay a ridiculous amount of money. There are 3 big markets here that I know of with both legal and illegal bikes. If you plan on riding through Western Sichuan, I recommend going the legal route, but for that you need plates and thus a Chengdu address.

    Contact Nyima Tashi he just purchased five Zhongshen Rx3's today for his tour company. He will hire bikes to you if you have Chinese licence.
