Cycling Shanghai

[rocketgirl]

My husband and I will be in Shanghai May 5-11 on business, and would like to extend the trip until about May 24th. I would like to do 5 days, more or less, of cycling -leaving from and ending up in Shanghai. I have no idea who to contact or how to plan this. A private tour for my husband and me, or group, would be fine. We will need to rent bicycles over there.
Thank you for any advice, Barbara

As you may know, the bicycle is a primary mode of transportation for hundreds of millions of people in the People's Republic of China. Organized tours on bikes should be plentiful. If Shanghai is anything, it is a major tourist destination. Google should produce some information for you. I have been to Shanghai. I have done a considerable bit of cyling-touring in China. I always used my own bike and never had to rent.

This page has 8 links to information about bike touring in China.  None of them deal with Shanghai specifically and most of them are links to general information pages or tour journals.  But, it might be a good place to start.

Have a great time,
