I agree! Pal is behaving inappropriately. We don't need that nonsense here.

And, as Felix noted above, the rules in China for doing things legally are difficult to find and frequently confusing.

Jalgo, you are very welcome to seek help here. I have personally found tons of useful information from the considerably more knowledgeable riders than myself. And 99% of the people here are unselfishly helpful, 99% of the time.

I'm a Beijinger, so I don't really know much about Shanghai (except it is an expensive city, full of pretty girls!). Beijingers are witnessing similar actions in Beijing these days (no gas for unplated bikes, etc), so there is a rush to get legal plates/bikes.

Yes, a legal bike is expensive - it is the price of admission. But it sure is fun once you're in!

Welcome Jalgo!
