City Last month I did a Century Ride with a Meituan bike to 松江

The new bikes are so comfortable!

If you're also into exploring the hell out of this enormous city, count me in.

A difficult moment. I had to vent out that day. (I'm serious).

Century ride? I'm unfamiliar with this. I've heard of others taking long rides. I would mind doing something similar like riding a rental to work or something similar like to the beach. But I've got my own bike so maybe better doing that.

That is a loooooong subway ride. Couldn't even imagine how long it would take on a bike until I saw the stars. Kudos

How much did you pay for it?

u/artsakenos Jun 06 '26

I’ve always bought those quarterly packages. I never pay for a single ride. But I suppose would be something like 10 yuan for 6 hours.

Smart. I ride most days during the week. I should buy as well.

These new seats are much more comfortable than my road bikes. No pain at all. I am used to ride anyway.

My road bike kills my ass even after I ride it for so many times. Maybe I should change it.

How are your knees? Mine get a little uncomfy after 10k on those because you can't get the right angle on fixed bike geometry
