Bike Guy #1
June 8, 2008
So with two bikes now firmly established in the Lin Hai Gang fleet it is important to get a guy who knows what he is doing when it comes to fixing bikes - and this is where China is such a beautiful country because there is literally a million of them hanging around the streets ready to serve you. But, through a very stringent process I have found a couple of guys who pass the Engleson inspection criteria and have been taking my bike to them on a regular basis. The guy you see before you is without question my number #1 guy. While he has some serious work habit quirks and definitely carries himself as the delicate genius, the man does know how to fix a Chinese bike and is dirt cheap - so I have to just let him be. I love going to him and watching him work (along with all the other guys who gather around) and solve the little problems my bikes cause. Not too sure how he makes enough money to survive but he definitely has my business!
