Renting bikes in Hangzhou
Hangzhou has the type of bike rental system that allows you to pick up and drop off bikes at many places throughout the city. Bikes are stored at various locations, locked in racks. You have to get a card at a central location, then you use the card to unlock and relock the bikes. You can drop off a bike at one place, then pick up a different one somewhere else. This picture is of one of the main rental centers. Elizabeth is about to tackle the rental process. The rental forms were completely in Chinese so she just guessed at what they wanted and where it went. The rental agent's English was about as good as our Chinese, so all went well. Total rental cost for the day was about $5USD each. It was tough to find one with a seat high enough for me!
