Boomtown China

Bike's Buggered

The bike's been parked up in the underground car park for the past few months with a puncture and I'm getting a bit tired of walking around the neighbourhood.

Because of the recent boom in sales of electric bikes cycle shops have switched to selling the more profitable electric bikes. It took ages to find somewhere to fix the puncture and when I did it took 45 mins. to fix. In the end she had to call her husband to finish the job.

The rear wheels on this bike are a real pain to take on and off. You may wonder why don't I buy a puncture repair outfit? Because it's really hard to buy them nobody does anything here themselves you just pay for somebody to do it for you.

The owner of the shop said the bike's too old. I've had it three years. The brakes barely work now and several spokes in the back wheel are broken. I think I may spend my 500 RMB Walmart gift voucher I got for Chinese New Year on a new bike the old one's buggered.
