I'm spending the next two weeks in Chengdu, China and was wondering if anyone knew of a bike shop in this city. I've seen a bunch of guys with little makeshift operations on street corners but nothing like a proper shop. Does anyone know of one?

In Beijing I was able to rent a bike for ~$3/month. The rental operation was apparently an operation set up in the context of the Olympics. I ran across a second-hand store that, among others, had second-hand bikes for ~$35 a piece. Department-store no-name folders were for ~$70. I brought back a Dahon HT060, which is a 6(?)-speed version of Boardwalk, as far as I can tell. Many component/accessory prices were half of those in the US. Other were nearly the same. Bike Friday was ~20% more expensive than in the US. There was a Moulton there too. I came further across a number of high-end folder brands that I never heard of, that were either Chinese or Asian, and very innovative. This was in a street nearly exclusively dedicated to bicycles, with numerous factory shops, some of garage size.

hi, i've rode from beijing to Lhasa and had the fortune to stop at Chengdu. Mate dont worry about bike shops there you will find plenty without trying.

Or like me a flock of young and beautiful chinese girls will at least try and help
