December 22, 2021,🇨🇳 Shanghai: Double Riverside

The bike path along the Huangpu River (komoot.com/highlight/3848527) and Longteng Avenue (komoot.com/highlight/2779725) are great rides in Shanghai - and if you live somewhat central then also accessible without the need to drive there.
You get to see three bridges (Nanpu Bridge, Lupu Bridge and Xupu Bridge) and get to enjoy the new parks (Qiantan Park, Houtan Park) on the Pudong …

September 22, 2021,🇨🇳 Shanghai: Left and Right of the Huangpu River

Bike path up and down the Huangpu River on both sides is really an enjoyable ride.

Not for racing though, as the bike lane includes some tight turns and unfortunately pedestrians ...

Downtown roads of course come with downtown traffic, car and scooters, and traffic lights :-/

March 6, 2025,🇨🇳 Shanghai: No Easy Peasy

Had hoped the Easy Peasy group ride would be on today, but I was the only one that signed up. Went to meeting point anyway, not sure if others might just show up, but ended up being a Lonely Rider.
Decided to do a solo ride down and up Longteng Avenue.

June 27, 2022,🇨🇳 Shanghai: Tuesday Morning Variation

Only wanted to go for a quick ride. Hadn't planned for 50km this morning, just happened to end up being 50+.
As it was early I started off riding downtown before doing one circle at the Miaojiang Loop. Then going down and back up Longteng Avenue, and chose to return via Jianguo Road.
And I was reminded this morning that …

February 18, 2024,🇨🇳 Shanghai: BreakSLOW … Really?

The RNCC BreakSLOW ride on Monday. Invitation says 28~32 km/h ... it felt a lot faster. And everytime I looked down on the bike computer we were well above 32 km/h.
When the ride leader turned into Miaojiang Road for an extra loop and started picking up even more speed I had to opt out, cut it short and wait …

June 16, 2024,🇨🇳 Shanghai: RNCC BreakSLOW

... and my 'as new' bike's maiden ride. Even got sprinkled with some raindrops towards the end of the ride. 😃
Did I say 'I love the new paint job'? And the CRW wheels feel so much faster than Giant SLR2 ... or is it just my euphoria about the new colors?🤭

May 28, 2023,🇨🇳 Shanghai: RNCC BreakSLOW Morning Group Ride

Longteng Avenue (or LTA among cyclists) is the 'go to' route for downtown riding. Most days of the week one or more group rides, and many solo riders, choose to ride down and up this stretch of road along the Huangpu River.
