Bicycle Repair

Getting my new bike adjusted is a rather easy thing to do. In fact, it's one of those things that is easier to do in China.

At home, most of the time if you want someone to fix something for you, it can be a lot of work. You have to drag your bike to someplace and drop it off for a while. Here's what it was like for me.

I was riding home, and stopped off at the local street corner. I waited two minutes for him to finish up with the guy before me. Then, he installed a padded seat to the back of my bike, and also adjusted my seat and handlebars. Done in 10 minutes by a pro, and it only cost me 2 RMB, or about 30 cents CAD.

This is what his 'store' looks like. It's super easy to close up at night, and his rent is really cheap.
