Just kidding. Welcome to the board, Barry, and I think you will find more expertise in this forum than anywhere else, and you'll find a very strong riding community there in Beijing, which, despite the long, cold winter, is blessed with world-class rural roads through some truly awesome landscapes. (There are peaks of 3000+ meters within Beijing city limits!).

The rules and regulations for licensing a bike seem rather fluid in Beijing, which seems to be thinking that it'll cure its traffic jams by eliminating motorbikes. But several riders have recently obtained legal 京A plates, so fresh intelligence about the process is available. Lao Jia Hou will be at the top of the list.

Did you ride in Holland or elsewhere? What inspired you to start riding?

cheers
