Q: Is it more efficient to travel with a bike than taxi in 2nd-3rd tier cities?

That's bike or E-electronic bike. The distance is about 12-14 kilometers (1 hour by bus) from the outskirts of my city to downtown (city center). Would it be faster to use a taxi or bike or e-bike and does rush hour make one or the other a better choice? I know during some rush hours I can sit in the back of a cab for 20-30 minutes for just one intersection, so in this case would using an bike or e-bike be any better? how good are e-bikes on battery power...can you run out of battery at the worst times...say the middle of nowhere in a 2nd-3rd tier type city?

E bike is best transportation in my experience in China...hands down very little hassle...14 miles should be easy to handle

I agree, don't know anybody could survive without an e-bike in my home town.

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski. ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
