haha cultural bias? i haven't been to china no, perhaps you can enlighten me.
all i was saying is that keeping both hands on the bars by wearing a garbage bag would probably be better in the situation of the picture rather than using an umbrella and riding with one hand. maybe i am biased but i'd think that keeping control of the bike in flooded streets is better than doing a faceplant into a pothole whether it be in china, usa, or the goddam soviet union
