I have ridden 9000 km in Chengdu, and not lost a bike. This is my cheap bike, my other one is a Surly Long Haul Trucker, and that doesnt go anywhere it needs a lock!
I was told by everybody that my bike would be stolen quickly, but I have managed to take good care of it so far.
Gordon, you live very very close to me

I am just north of 2nd ring road near Fang Cao Jie
