Lanzhou!

Out of the Gobi, off the Tibetan plateau, and following the Yellow River, we arrived in Lanzhou today.   Our first stop was at the city’s motorcycle marketplace…

We saw more than a few interesting bikes…there’s only space to show a few of them here.

I had seen these motorcycle seat covers elsewhere in China, and I bought one for my bike today.

Here’s the young lady who installed it.

This was another option, but I opted for the one you see above.

We saw a lot of sunflowers yesterday and today on the G30 superslab.   The guys bought some today for a snack.

One of the moto-dudes in the Chinese mega mall…

The competition…a Lifan with a Chinese dragon motif…

This is the cargo bed on an electric trike…

Electric scooters are very big in China.  Here are a couple I spotted last night in Wuwei…

And that’s all for now….it’s late and I’m tired.   We’ll be in Lanzhou for one more day, and then we’re continuing our journey east toward Xi’an, Beijing, and more.  Later, my friends.
