Bicycle Rental

Renting a bicycle is a good option for those who plan on using their feet to get around.  Many hostels in Kunming offer bicycle rentals at (usually) 2 RMB per hour or 15 RMB for a day.  The deposit for an old bike is generally 200 RMB; 400 RMB for a newer one.  Cycling as a means of transportation is gaining in popularity, since point to point distances in Kunming are often not far at all.  Travel by bicycle is thus convenient, cheap, and, as we all know, does not pollute the environment.  Remember to lock bikes when parking them!
