China, Asia, Climbing and Fixed Gear Bikes

„Hutong“ actually comes from fire alley. It stands for the traditional housing of Beijing. Unfortunately more and more are torn down in order to modernize the city. I love the hutongs. Life seems still laid back and quiet. You can even cycle around wearing your pyjama and smoking

Here is a bike repair shop having his laundry hanging in his street side shop

We were participating in a bicycle ralley (Schnitzeljagd) through the hutongs. Click here to see more pictures of the hutongs we passed. I was riding my pink fixed gear bike. We did see many other cyclists wearing the cap with wind shield to protect the face from the sun so that it stays nice and white

Our bike ralley team wearing the nice t-shirts (great to have car companies sponsor bike events… The last one I did was sponsored by Skoda)
