I never thought I'd ever be crazy or suicidal enough to ride a bike (or drive anything for that matter) on the streets of Shanghai. However my fearless visitor said she wanted to try the Shanghai Night Rides offered by Bohdi Adventures.
A few more friends joined along and we had a fantastic time! The group was four of us, two strangers, and two Bohdi guides. They gave us mountain bikes, helmets and water, before we started from the Bohdi offices around 7:30pm. With a few pit stops we rode about three and a half hours. We passed through residential areas up north Shanghai, to the art gallery district 50 Moganshan Lu, down to the Bund and Xintiandi, and back to their office. All flat and not tough exercise at all, but it is tough to be in the saddle that long when you're out of bike shape, ouch.
Bohdi runs these rides on Thursday nights, great 200rmb :)
