You may bring your own bike, but make sure it is roadworthy. There is no discount for bringing your own bike and our tour leader is only trained to fix our own bikes.

If you get a flat tire our tour leader will give you their bike. All of our tour leaders have access to spare bikes around Shanghai at a moment's notice.

Our bikes are lovingly restored vintage bikes, they are fixed gear bikes with an adjustable seat height. Biking in Shanghai does not require gears as the roads are very flat and we encourage using all the same bike to keep the same standard for the group.

Your safety is our priority ! Our amazing tour leaders are well aware of that. Our routes are specially designed to stay far from cars & others motorbikes. We provide free helmets, insurance and safety rules to make sure everyone feels good on the road and focus on what is important.

Unfortunately, we must insist that participants who are unable to ride a bike confidently do not book a shared tour. If you let us know in advance we are happy to offer you a private walking tour instead for example.

Shanghai weather is rarely stormy enough to warrant the cancellation of a tour. Light rain, especially in the hot seasons, can make for a pleasant riding experience. We provide special rain jackets to keep you and your bike dry during the ride. Locals too rarely mind a little rain and you can still see them going about their daily lives and traditional ways. In case of a strong storm we will contact you in advance to give you the chance to reschedule the tour or to cancel in advance.
