It is an Lunatick Mariner,
And he stoppeth expat companie.
'By thy long grey beard and glittering eye,
Now wherefore stopp'st thou me?

Thanks!

I may have some time to play with one or the other during my own "What's Making me Happy!"

Small sad intro - my schedule hit some speed bumps so I am not on the train with the other charity members heading to FengHuang today. ananananan ananananan ananananan

But I am heading to Xiangtan next week, and finally also sponsor a student there.  When that's done, I'm not heading home.  Instead, I'm heading to FengHuang by myself for a week (at least).  I need time away from everything to work on my book on Dragon Boats.  Also, if I can find enough words that rhyme with paddle, I may be able to put together together some poems for the book.

So hard the Lunatic paddled
That his brain became deeply addled. ahahahahah

Just the one that you see the most is probably the best bet. The yellow one is in every city so it's a reputable company kkkkkkkkkk or they own a lot of bikes anyway lol

I was in Shanghai when there was that rental bikes craze, it was insane, people were just leaving them everywhere and there were bikes all over the shop

Sorry for the late reply, didn't see this...

I use a one called Wondershare which costs about 500rmb to own or you pay a subscription. I use it because it's really simple, I think that the best one in DaVinci which is free for basic, but I couldn't get my head around it (I didn't try to be fair

I've got no clue.  In the overall scheme of things, hacking a bike is very low on the priority list, but consider this - if a foreigner is caught breaking ANY law, even a minor one, the low end punishment is to not allow renewal of residence permit (accompanied by a reentry ban ranging from a few years to eternity.  The option above this is a free ride to the nearest international airport where you'll have to buy a one-way international plane ticket.

I'd also like to point out that software designed to do something against regulations often comes with extra security issues (like trying to hijack confirmation messages from your bank, etc.).  After all, who's going to file a report that begins with "I was using malware to steal free access to bikes and the malware did something malicious to me!" down at the local PSB.  If some does this, they can finish writing their report about how they got some instant karma from inside their administrative detention holding cell.

Bike rentals are cheap. Is it really worth risking your ability to live here to save a few kuai?  Also, if enough people do this, the company offering the Yellow Bikes will end up going out of business since it won't be able to pay for maintenance and for new bikes.
