[quote=CHOUDOUFU ,30892]I am a local resident in Kunming, Your question is NOT ridiculous!!there are literally hundreds of small bike shops,most selling low-end garbage (similar to murrayor huffy). you can buy a brand new bike for aslittle as $15...or you can buy second-hand (i.e. stolen) for even less.there are several decent bike shops near greenlake, emphasis on mtb's, but with some road bikesavailable. you can find accessories like racks, but i've seen no panniers. not much interest in touring. helmets, gloves, shoes (up to size10), but expensive.you can buy a nice (xt-comp) mtb starting at $500 up to around US$1000. i suggest you bring your touringgear: clothing, panniers, helmet. bikes willcome with front shocks, so you might want to bring a couple mountainman front racks if youuse front panniers. the shops i've been to donot have much in the way of non-susp forks.bike theft is rampant. bring a kryptonite.[/quote]
