    Back when food delivery wasn't as widespread, cycling around West Lake was truly enjoyable, probably around '13, '14, or '15.

      And I bet housing in Hangzhou wasn't as expensive back then either, haha.

          Winter's setting in. My hands got a bit chilly while cycling today, haha.

            Lately, most of the people I've seen spitting have been young. By the time I think of saying something, it's already too late. One person even spat three times in a row, and when I confronted him, he just stayed silent. This disgusting habit needs harsher penalties to improve.

              Exactly! He just stayed silent when I called him out, then ran a red light and sped off. I was so furious!

                Many of those who spit are young people, as are those who damage willow trees or pick osmanthus flowers. Their behavior is appallingly poor, and they're completely shameless. As a local, I call out every single one I see.

                  Exactly! We shouldn't tolerate such behavior!!!

                    I planned to pick up my bike yesterday, but both shops I checked were out of stock.

                      Is it one of those trending 'influencer' models? Why is it in such high demand?

                        You're living such a comfortable life! I lived in Beijing for a month and a half and visit Hangzhou frequently; I'm practically a Hangzhou local at heart. On weekends, I just drive over, go for a hike, and enjoy the lake.

                          Where are you coming from that it's so close by?

                            Spitting and smoking are really exhausting to deal with. You encounter it whether you're walking by West Lake or the Qiantang River. It's so frustrating.

                              Sigh. Public etiquette and civic-mindedness still have a long way to go.
