Bicycle repair scam

In recent years all over China, bicycle repair man tend to rip-off travelers when their bikes needs to bi fixed. For example, when you get a flat tire, normally the price for repair ranges from 2 yuan to 5 yuan. Here is how it works, while the repair man is checking your tire, without you noticing he pinches a hole near the tire valve area and you end up being pushed to buy a new inner tube at a high price. So make sure you ask your bike rental to tell you a good place where you may fix your bike or fix it yourself. Enjoy your ride.
