标题: Bicycles and metro trains [打印本页] 作者: illbient 时间: 2007-10-15 14:46 标题: Bicycles and metro trains Does anyone know if you are allowed to take your bike into the metro trains? I've asked a few locals and no one seems to know for sure. Thanks.作者: fastjudy 时间: 2007-10-15 18:29
Try to avoid getting on the metro during peak hours with your bike, Beijing has already started to ban bikes on trains and metro hence we'll have to do our best to steer clear from the authorities.
I usually board the first or last coach with my bike because there are fewer passengers and you can park your bike against the bulkhead's door.作者: sv_ironhorse 时间: 2007-10-15 20:36
Try dismantling the wheels... then you have the excuse of transporting goods instead of bikes. I believe they go by the letters of the laws not the spirit of the laws.作者: fastjudy 时间: 2007-10-16 10:21
Dismantling the FRONT wheel will suffice . Usually they won't borther you if you travel during non peak hours.作者: illbient 时间: 2007-10-16 13:17
Thanks for the replies. They don't make it easy :( with bike, wheel and ticket going through the turnstyles!作者: fastjudy 时间: 2007-10-16 13:37

is this thread dead or alive???
went to pudong and back to my place in weining road mrt station today...
my brother and i + another guy... all 3 bikes went into the train without problems from those clowns.
so i guess its alright as long as its off peak.
oh yes, we had to remove the front wheel when we went in... but after the clowns werent looking, we put the wheels on and didnt bother.作者: fastjudy 时间: 2008-3-8 14:57
It depends how you interpret "dead"..
anyhow.... during non peak hours... those jokers couldn't be borthered to stop you.. 作者: xprobe 时间: 2008-3-9 22:33
please advise if a road bike can fit into the back of a VW Santanna 2000 taxi?作者: fastjudy 时间: 2008-3-10 00:39
no worries, take off your front wheel and stuff it behind the back seats. Most Santana taxi runs on natural gas hence there's a large gas tank located behind the trunk...作者: bazzer 时间: 2008-3-10 17:14
fastjudy summed it up well,
but put the bike on the 'floor' of the taxi...put on the seat later they not happy and u tio meh.
most drivers will say no cannot put... but u tell him can put...
usually the 2 and 3 stars taxis will be nicer to approach as compared to the no star ones.
when u are master at it... if u see any clowns insists taht u cannot put, place a 100rmb wager on him that u can...
if u do it, he'll shuttup!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!作者: gerrard 时间: 2008-4-4 21:04
