The spring finally came to Beijing, it was warm enough to cycle around again in Beijing. Amazingly my bicycle survived the winter, and was still locked up in the bycicle parking area. I think I have writen too much about the negative part of Beijing, I should give myself some positive energy boost.
Riding bicycle is so much fun. I feel so at ease when cycling around, inspite of the dust, polluted air and fume. There are filthy looking labour workers having a small bicycle service stall in every corner. My rear tire, paddle on the left and basket fixation were replaced in different stalls, since they broke down when I went around the city.
Those filthy looking labour workers might be farmers in the rural country side, they came to the big city for any chance that could make some money. They often don't have a proper place to live, not to mention the luxury of taking a shower. When needing help pumping up my tires, I only need to pretend I am so clumsy in finding where the valve is, they often offered helping hands.
