【What's Up! JSU】Bicycles for Rent | Convenient and Healthy

When we don't have a bike or a bicycle of our own and we need to rush to the class, the best provision will be a bicycle to borrow. In China, to borrow a bicycle is simpler than it sounds after the initial procedures are done. 

What we need is just a card and it helps you not just to borrow a bicycle but also to use the public bus with half price or probably, free!

1) Where can you make the card? 

Get the 19 number bus to Mengxi Guang Chan Xi station (梦溪广场西站). Find the China Mobile shop near the Mengxi square and this is where you get your card, ready to use. The card is actually the all-in-one transport card which is also for using the public bus, so you have to mention separately that you need to use the bicycle and get the service activated. 

2) Materials to make the card 

Passport

18 ¥ for the card

20 ¥ as deposit

3) How much does the usage cost?

The bicycle is free for one hour after you take it from the socket. After this one hour, the charges are 1¥ per hour. So you can keep the bicycle back to the socket and retake to use it for free the next hour. SWIPE THE CARD, THE MACHINE PROMTS TO TAKE THE BIKE FROM THE SOCKET. TAKE THE BIKE WITH-IN 20 SECONDS. 

4) Do we need to renew or recharge the card?

You don't have to renew the card, but if you use the public bus, then you need to recharge it. If the balance is just 1 ¥, you cannot borrow a bicycle with the card. You can recharge the card from any China mobile shop.

5) Where to find the bicycle?
