Our NEW Bikes in China!!!!

---

Tonight we bought bikes to make our lives easier(or so we think) in China!!! Life in a city with no car and the only mode of transportation is walking or taking the bus is overrated. We decided we needed to simplify our trips to the grocery store by getting bikes w/baskets. YES!!!! No more walks with groceries in tow.

Our Contact Teacher, Wilson, helped us negotiate the 2 bikes, 2 baskets, 2 front reflectors, and 2 U-Locks all for 550 kuai=$81. SWEET DEAL, nothing compares to this in Pacific Beach, CA. We hope there are no bike accident stories to follow in our blog over the next year.

Check out our new bikes. Oh minor detail, after we paid for the bikes it started to POUR southern China style and we didn't have our umbrellas with us due to no rain in the forecast. We got a little wet but our bikes have mudflaps so we didn't get our clothes dirty from the street grime, just a LITTLE wet from the pouring rain.
