I lived on Lamma, an obvious biking community, and could count on one hand the number of expensive looking bikes. The vast majority were run down, rusty squeaky contraptions.
For commuting, everyone would leave their bikes on the ferry pier - some locked, some not - and no one seemed to cry with worry about someone stealing their bike.
If HKers did cycle more, they'd start doing the crazy japanese thing of installing parasols on the handlebars and wearing arm socks!!
