Biking in China?

[tpejoe]

Does anyone have any information on biking in mainland China?
I will be based in Shanghai for a while and would like to plan on some bike touring while in the PRC?

Any thoughts?

From Shanghai some very nice biking can be done at moganshan about 1:30 hrs by car. This is also e beautifull place to spend weekends away from the city. there are muntain resorts and a very caracteristic Expatriate community up there, its ideal both for road and muntain bikes. 2 month ago I was there and at the Lodge (www.moganshanlodge.com) there is a guy organising muntain bike tour, contact with them for more info. I am living in Hangzhou (45 min by train from Shanghai) wich is also quite a nice place to ride both road bikes and off road. You ride Muntainbike or roadbikes? let me know when you are in china. We can join on a moganshan tour if you want.

planning to ride from Laos thru China:  Yunnan, Sichuan, Urumqui and into Central Asia starting about Jan 2012.  Any info would be appreciated.  Does anyone know a good travel agent to help with visa?  Would like a 90 day, single entry if possible.  Stan
