Last year the bus driver said I could bring my scooter for an extra 200 rmb, only 100 less than my ticket...maybe this year I will.
Maybe consider taking with you a foldie. That is a fold up bike. I have a Dahon Courser (full suspension front and rear) 20" wheels, 8 speed. Un/Folds in only 10-15 seconds. Have a reinforced bag, and I've carried it both throughout China and abroad; OZ, NZ, Thailand, Vietnam, UAE, KSA. There are other good brands e.g birdy. Giant also do a few foldies too.
