I'm spending 6 weeks in Kunming this summer, does anyone know of a good place to rent a bicycle?

Fat Tyres/Xiong Brothers bike shop on beimen jie has decent bikes.

if you just want something to get around on then you might consider a new or 2nd hand city bike - might work out cheaper and no worries if it gets stolen.

If you need a good mountain bike for a day or three, then the place debaser suggested is excellent, but at 40rmb a day plus your passport or 1000rmb for deposit. They do have excellent well maintained bikes and are 100% honest. Their English isn't great, but they've rented enough bikes to foreigners, communication isn't a barrier.

However, at 6 weeks stay, I suggest you buy a affordable/cheap bike and sell it at end of your trip, that is if the bike thieves of Kunming have not solved that problem for you.

We can provide mountain bicycle for renting too. Our bicycle shop's name is PEGASUS, which is located at the northeast of the Jin Xing Bridge, on the east of Rd Beijing. I can speak good English.
