Can anyone there tell me what it will cost me if I buy a bike there (new or used).

With import duty and 80 Euro per bike extra on KLM flights - (I guess about 100 Euro extra per bike total for both charges) and the added hassle of lugging two bike boxes - maybe it's better to buy locally. (We have to buy new bikes anyway as the bikes we have here at home are useful here at home. Any ideas, thoughts?

Thanks.

You can buy bikes pretty reasonably at one of the local stores such as Tung Fung or Super Store for around euro 150 or at the bike shop for twice that price (Trek or better) You can always sell them before you leave.

Thanks Michael,
I don't know why, but this is a tough one to decide.

If you buy bikes at the shops like Ting Fung etc. you might have guarantee till the door. There is a good shop Freewieler at Kaya Grandi.

You can buy there good bikes, mostly dutch brand.
They do have a high level service as well.
I wish you luck with your decision.
