We know how you feel about bringing your own bike. The "official" line of China is that "no foreigner shall enter with their own form of transportation".  Nevertheless, feel free to give it a try as chances are quite good you'll get your bike through Chinese Customs.  If you don't get it through, you'll be able to get it back upon exiting China and you'll use one of our Diamond Back bikes while on tour.  Please note that if you choose to bring your own bike, all extra handling/shipping charges or changes in ticketing incurred will be your responsibility and are not included in tour fees.
